Description:An optical viewfinder designed for film and digital camera that attaches to camera via its accessory shoe.Available in 28mm (135 full frame), no frame.It is an affordable viewfinder with amazing build quality and optics,The viewfinder is bright and clear and the size is small and nearly weightless. Specification:Model:XuanVF28Material: ABS shell + resin lensLens: 2 groups 2 piecesAngle of view: 28mm (135 equivalent) No frameField of view: 90 Percent Regarding parallax: All rangefinder viewfinders will have parallax, as are the original Leica viewfinders. This is related to the position of the viewfinder optical axis and the lens optical axis. You can compensate yourself after mastering the parallax offset. Regarding the lens: The viewfinder lens is an optical resin lens, and some slight dust or fine scratches are inevitable, which will not affect the use. If there is dust staining during use, just use air blowing. Do not wipe the lens excessively. The resin sheet is easy to scratch, especially do not use chemical solvents such as alcohol to wipe!Package: 1 x 28mm viewfinder

I know you’re trying to save money by getting this instead of the GR official one, but trust me, if you’re a “pro” in any way, stay away from this and buy the real deal.

Viewfinder is centered and has decent clarity. I wasn’t looking for anything too fancy for my camera so the lightweight plastic body works just fine for my needs. Looks so cute on my cam too! For reference I got the 28mm and I’d say it’s a must-have accessory for the Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo — adds to the vintage look and feels more natural taking photos !!

It brings back memories of yesteryear when I was a kid and was taking photos with my Kodak Retinette Compact in 1960. Love it

It's a great size and looked nice on my GRIII, but the image as seen through the viewfinder was extremely out of focus and blurry. Looking through the viewfinder for even the briefest amount of time caused extreme eye fatigue and a headache.I tried the viewfinder with and without glasses as well as squinting to try to bring the image into focus. Nothing worked and I found it to be completely unusable.

I bought this product to give my Sigma DP2M an optical viewfinder to supplement its LCD. It fits snugly on the camera and looks great. It also doesn't add too much bulk to such a compact camera. It's a helpful framing aid for shooting landscape-style pictures.The main downside is that it's optically poor. Everything seen through it is blurry, so it's mostly useful for showing the limits of the frame rather than for giving a sharp image. Looking through it for too long gives a lot of eyestrain.I've been using viewfinder-style film cameras for decades, so I know it's not my eyes. My guess is that they've got the lens spacing slightly off.So, what I can say is that it works, but it's definitely disappointing.

I read somewhere that this is made with the viewfinder lenses from disposable cameras. It is tiny and it does work. The view through it is like an old box camera - blurry edges and no bright frame. I 3D-printed a shoe for it and stuck that to the top of my Canon G9X (over the pop-up flash which I never use). Useful in bright sunlight when I can't see the screen well and small enough not to get in the way. Pretty good approximation of the coverage at 28mm-equivalent and 3x4 aspect ratio.
