Angle Finder B or C
Hubert Sammons , mar 15, 2003; 10:22 p.m.
I have an Elan 7 and hope to soon have a new 10d. Does anyone have any
experience with the Canon angle finders. The Canon info says both the Elan 7
and the new 10d takes the C angle finder which is twice as expensive as the b
angle finder. What is the difference? What does the b fit the c won't fit.
Thanks
Hugh Sammons

I too have been looking at these so I don't have to fold over my already
screwed up back while doing macro and other closeups. As far as I can see the
difference is the mount that allows them to slide over the eye peice. what I
have elected to doing is simply find the cheapest one I can find on ebay and if
it don't fit, simply fabricate an eye peice to it so that it will fit.
Photogrpahy on a budget! I have also though about simply building one. with
tubes a prism and a couple of mirrors attached to an eye cup. I have quite a
few prisms from various binoculars I have cannibalized, a dremel to cut down
mirrors and tubes. Amazing what us swamp folk can do when bored in a cold as
piss Oregon winter.

The angle finder C is a beauty, magnifying from Full View of Viewfinder at
1.25x, to 2.5x closeup for critical focusing the center part of the image, at
the flip of a switch. Unbelievably Bright, Rightside Up, NON-REVERSED image! 10
elements in 7 groups, and roof prism. Built in Diopter adjustment of -5 to +3.
I can take off my glasses! Angle Finder C also has two adapters so that it can
fit any EOS (and perhaps older models) cameras.
I think the Angle finder B reverses the image top-to-bottom and/or
side-to-side, it doesn't have the option of 2.5x (for critical focusing), and I
don't know if it has the eye-piece diopter adjustment.
The "C" model is a solid pice of equipment! Nothing cheap about the design or
build of this one! Well worth the price.

Oh, I forgot to add - the Angle Finder C also rotates (without removing from
camera) so you can look into it from the top, bottom, or either side of the
camera, or the angles in between!
