I've had my TK45S now for 5 months and like it a lot, but I am not happy with th e speed of composing.
I currently use a darkcloth from Darkroom Innovations. Light leaks from holes b etween the camera and darkcloth, it sags between the camera and my head, and it gets hot. And I can't move the camera and hold the darkcloth at the same time.
What I'm looking for is ease of composing. Linhof makes several products which l ook like they could help: (1)Linhof folding focusing hood, (2) Linhof "45 4-way right angle reflex finder" (monocular), and (3) a finder like (2) which is colla psible rubber.
I use 58/80/110/135/180/360mm lenses, with the 110, 135 and 180 most frequently.
Does anyone use any of these Linhof products on their 45S? I know the folding f ocusing hood would definitely be an improvement (I've seen it), but I'm wonderin g if the reflex finder would be really nice, or just an idea that seemed nice. Linhof does a terrible job of giving specifications for these products (dimensio ns, weight, recommended uses, etc). And none of these products are cheap, so I want to get the right thing the first time.
Thanks, Lloyd
