    Thanks for the review dude. Funny, I just ordered one of these (
    Magnifying LCD 2.8x 3:2 Viewfinder V3) on Ebay for a tenner. Can’t go wrong I don’t think.

    Thanks for the review! Will this work with a t3i with an articulating screen (i.e. will I be able to close the screen with the mount still attached?)

    Hey check these two ebay listings out. They’re cheap matte boxes that mount to the threadiing on your lens, so you don’t need a rail system. this one: 320765035585 —– and this other one thats 20$ more, but looks alot nicer: 220949109943 —– what do you think about these? The second one looks like a good deal to me. I think it would make sense to get a large threading size, so you could use it with larger lenses, and smaller ones with step up rings. thanks. 😀

    I mean that it has to have a wide enough focus ring, unlike lenses like the macro kit lens that i got with the t2i :D

    Thanks man! I never thought of looking for vintage lenses on ebay. what kind of adapters would i need for a t2i? I’m looking for a good lens that i could use a follow focus. super bummed out that i messed the second one. Thanks!

    does this come with one or two magnets to attach with? I have a 3 inch articulating monitor i was thinking i might be able to use. thanks.

    Thank you! I’m looking for a cheaper viewfinder like this. I’m 13, and spent like 2 years saving up for my t2i, which i love. I can’t afford something above 100 dollers, (below 60 or 70 would be great) but i’m kinda split between the ggs, the lvf32, and this. Which would you recommend? Thanks alot. Subscribed!

    thanks man can’t wait to see the new video . I also have a 60D so I feel your pain with getting a good VF for it.
