Re: Poll: right angle viewfinder

In the days of film SLRs, I had vertical viewers which replaced the pentaprism on Exakta, Topcon and Nikon cameras. So far as I know, nobody has made a digital SLR with a removable pentaprism and a range of easily changeable focussing screens.

Nowadays, I find the tilting LCD works very well. I don't see the need for a reflex finder of any kind.

Perhaps a rotating electronic finder would be handy. Or one could use a camera that can be triggered from a phone.
