ViewFinder Accessories

[Roger]

Since I have a Rebel XT focusing Macro can be hard because of the small viewfinder, do they make a enlargment attachment of some kind? I know they make a extender but that makes everything smaller... Can you replace the glass with somthing split also? * heard somthing about that*

Just seeing what my options are.


Thanks

There is a company called Katzeye, here you go....http://www.katzeyeoptics.com/

I have no personal experiance with them but have heard good reviews

So if you replace the glass it turns off some of the camera's functions it looks like.

How about just somthing that makes everything larger? lol

Lundrog,

The Rebel doesn't have interchangeable focusing screens, but I am not sure if people have found a way to do this anyway.

I think the right-angle finder is what you are after, they have one that magnifies the image as well. Search for Canon Angle Finder C with adapter (the adapter makes sure this will fit any EOS camera body).

There is an attachment that is a LCD screen but I cannot remember the name of it right now. Anyone know what I am talking about?

The Canon C-Angle Finder (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=183200&is=REG&addedTroughType=search) lets you change the angle of view and also magnifies 1.25x to 2.5x.

The LCD screen I was thinking of is the Zigview (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?ci=1&sb=ps&pn=1&sq=desc&InitialSearch=yes&O=product.jsp&A=search&Q=*&bhs=t&shs=zigview&image.x=0&image.y=0). But it is pretty expensive. The original is about $230, I believe the S2 is the new model and is $470. I tried the companies site Intro2020 (http://www.intro2020.co.uk/) but it is not working dunno;. Hope this helps.

The Canon C-Angle Finder looks nice for Macro but still some cash.

I was kinda hoping there was just a attachment that made the viewfinder stick back father and would you allow to press your eye on it better.

but oh well.
