Canon Angle Finder C for Canon EOS SLR Cameras

Macro Photography Essential

2008-09-14
Photographers doing macro photography will find this an essential accessory. It can be difficult if not impossible to compose a shot if your camera and tripod setup are close to ground level-let's face it, who wants to lie on their stomach on the ground. With this item in your kit you can use the camera's viewfinder with ease, from a kneeling position.

Used in combination with a sturdy tripod and a macro focusing rail (another essential, in my opinion) you have a good close-up kit that will make macro photography a breeze.

An angle finder is also handy if using your camera tilted upwards at higher tripod settings. In these situations you usually have to bend your knees in order to use the viewfinder comfortably. Again, the angle finder makes things easier.

Whilst this is made for Canon cameras, other manufacturers will have similar items for use on their products.

If there is a negative, it's price. I find it to be on the dear side. However, I trust the Canon name for quality. The image through the finder is sharp. The switchable magnification feature is great for checking focus.

Useful but fits poorly

I use this very often as it helps me gain additional perspectives without putting my body into crouches. I would love to just leave it on my camera all the time but even after a week of receiving it, it fits poorly onto my Rebel XT. The first time it fell off, I was fortunate to be walking on grass. I probably should use a pair of pliers to bend parts of the metal bracket for a tighter fit but I am a bit reluctant because this was a very expensive item! It makes me wonder how the fit of the less expensive Hoodman version is.

Overall, I am happy with what it is intended to do but am disappointed with the fit of the bracket onto my camera.

Awesome

Canon Angle Finder C

2008-03-15
Pros:
Most likely the best accessory I have for my 30D. Well suited for low angle shooting of flowers etc.
Cons:
I've found no way to secure the finder to the camera. I cannot trust it to stay on the camera while moving about in the out-of-doors. Also a little more friction would be nice as the finder is rotated around, it tends to flop around far too much.

Buy This at Amazon, the price is right!

After working in the studio without it, I knew that it was a necessary item for my EOS Canon. Camera accessory vendors were asking a lot more than Amazon, so I ordered it before Amazon changed their mind and I've enjoyed using this original accessory from Canon ever since; Thanks, Amazon!

Crisp, clear angled viewfinder.

Photo Angle Finder C is very useful if you are shooting with the camera close to the ground. It allows you to bend down and look into the viewfinder from above the camera.

A must have product. The optics on this instrument are first rate. Other similar products are 3rd rate. This and a pair of kneepads are indespensible for the avid landscape and macro photographer.
The down side, is that Canon doesn't even include a warranty sheet for the product. My first one disassembled itself at Badwater. I cobbled it back together but a couple of tiny ball bearings got lost. So, I bought a new one.

Well built, sturdy piece of equipment.

If you're very much into macro photography the extra magnification can make the difference between a spot on Depth of field and a wasted capture.

Other than macro photography, this eye-piece can be really useful if you have trouble using the small viewfinder. The large eye-cup helps cut out any stray light that might normally interfere with what you want to see.

This would have gotten 5 stars but the clarity isn't consistent over the entire extent of the lens; diminishing towards the edges.

	Sony Cybershot DSCS90 4.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Review: "This Camera is one of the best in its price range. It takes beautiful clear pictures and can be used right out of the box, but its worth learning all its features. The included memory holds about 20-25 pictures so I upgraded to 128mb. I reccomend getting a 128mb card and the Sony camera case. Not only is this one of the best cameras in its class it includes decent software and rechargeable batteries that are at least a 20$ value. HIGHLY reccomend over canon,kodak, and fuji. One more thing this camera has CARL Zeiss lens (if you dont know, great lens) all the competetors have generic lens."

From the Back Cover The megapixel hype
The fact is a camera’s megapixel rating is only a measure of how many pixels (photosensitive sites) an image sensor has…. An image sensor is simply one component of an entire system that produces a digital photograph… So resist buying into the megapixel hype when you’re choosing a digital camera. From Chapter 1
