Was with the 21mm and replaced the external 21mm finder. It had several advantages over the external 21mm finder: * Framing was EXACT! * Could see exactly what was in focus and adjust accordingly (using shutter half-depressed) * And best of all, you can tilt it up so that the camera can be close to the ground allowing you to really get a perspective you used to have to lie down for Downside was a slight delay between depressing the shutter and the shutter firing, but I got used to that? Here are a couple of the results; not the best images, but I don't blame the EVF for that! www.rgaphoto.com/21mmEVF Really fun using it as a chimney finder; up to my calves in waves, so I don't think I could have gotten these without it other than guessing and with a horizon bubble level in the hot shoe..
