Hi,

I have the opportunity to buy a Pentacon Six Right Angle Finder, but do you think it could be used on my 350D - I mean opticaly ?

I know that I will have to do a home made mount but that's not a problem so far.

Thanks !

No, but I could use it on my Pentacon 6! Very Happy

jokes aside, I don't know, but I doubt it's adaptable.

No problem, I already have an angle finder Very Happy
It makes you a bit dizzy (shows the world mirrored), but is a useful tool, great for focusing with the included loupe!

I used angle finder on my Nikon d50 only one times and sold it. It wasn't a useful tool to me.

Some of them have an un-fliped view, you see the life no mirrored :

OK, my Englishalian has betrayed me.
I did not mean those angle finder, what I have is the waist finder - for P6.
Much older looking than those.

I have the Canon angle viewfinder also - works very well for still lives or when photographing cats or children, or small plants (the reason I bought it for), and also enlarges the image of the 400D.

Best finder for the P6 IMO is the magnifier hood or "head" as described and shown here:

@ Orio:

It makes a big difference to focusing in general especially with the Flek 50.

I see, Bob.
Unfortunately, no exemplar for sale on the bay, unless Carsten with one of his miracle German language searches could conjure up one for me.
