Summary: Great item

Comment: This is a must have item for any one taking low pictures. Also is great for keeping your face away from the view screen

Summary: Another angle on things

Comment: Well.... I have only had it on the camera a couple of times. But it was exactly what I needed.... or was it wanted? Its a Canon! What more can I say? It performs as expected. I really enjoy the swivel View action. Also when your down low on a subject, you don't have to get behind the camera. You get on top of it... much easier.

Summary: Macro Photography Essential

Comment: 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.

Summary: Useful but fits poorly

Comment: 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.

Summary: Awesome

Comment: Saves your back and neck. I've captures some great shot with this Angle finder C. It's a must for you Canon DSLR.
