Hallo,
what do you think about use of a viewfinder like this Click here to see on Ebay (or similar) on Nex?
The electronic viewfinder FDAEV1S is too expensive and the optical viewfinder FDASV1 is only for SEL 16mm.

Thank you
Luca

NEX doesn't have a shoe to mount such a viewfinder so you would have to use a DIY solution.

I don't feel the need for a VF on my NEX, the screen is excellent.

There are 2 options:

2) http://www.sony.it/product/dsa-flashes---lights/fa-hs1am#pageType=Compatibles if you have a nex7

+1 better idea to use an LCD finder

The NEX-5N is so compact that I tend to bring the LCD close to my eye.
It is almost like a view finder.
Try it. I think you will like it.
The Sony viewfinder sounds good but it is expensive.
If you plan to get it, you might like the NEX-7 best.
