Re: Viewfinder for Canon 6D?
That's out of my budget unfortunately.
Are there cheaper options? |

Re: Viewfinder for Canon 6D?
I'm happy with the Hoodman Loupe on a 60D.
If I tried the Zacuto I'm sure I'd be spoiled, but the Hoodman has good magnification and an adjustable diopter. You do need to figure out how to attach - I'm using Hoodman's Hoodcrane, I wish it were easier to pop up out of the way one-handed, but it does work. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/573167-REG/Hoodman_H_LPP3_HoodLoupe_Professional_LCD_Screen.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/687696-REG/Hoodman_HCRN_HoodCrane_Universal_Hot_Shoe.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/687700-REG/Hoodman_HCKP_Cinema_Kit_Pro.html

I bought this for my 5Dmk3. It's as good as zacuto plus it has a eyepiece door. You can close it to prevent burning the screen under sunlight |

Re: Viewfinder for Canon 6D?
I too didnt have the budget for the over priced zacuto, I bought the Carryspeed VF4 and was quite impressed with the performance, great price and does the job fine :)

Re: Viewfinder for Canon 6D?
Here is an Amazon link for the one I have been using on my 6D. I wanted to be able to interchange it on my 60D with the swivel screen, so it needed to be light weight. My Z finder was too heavy. This one flips up to see the screen directly and also has a diopter corrector. It is only about $50

Re: Viewfinder for Canon 6D?
i wasted 100 pound on cheap products, bought all sorts of viewfinders but only to bite the bullet on eBay used z-finders, best i have ever had reason being they don't steam up!!! the rest do!!

Re: Viewfinder for Canon 6D?
If you are interested I have a Zucato Pro 2.5X that is pretty much like new in the box. I sold my 5D3 so I don't have any use for it now.

Re: Viewfinder for Canon 6D?
I've used the Swivi on my 60D and 6D and they work like a charm. The only issue is that the mounting plate offsets the tripod mounting hole to the side a bit and make lining up other gear (Follow Focus, rails matte box, etc.) a real pain. For run and gun, no batteries and all is good.
