You need to be aware that it's only a front aluminized mirror, which means the image is inverted left-right, just like the image in the viewfinder of an old twin-lens reflex.

I use it mainly for ground level shooting -especially for macro- but it can also be used to shoot overhead by holding the camera upside-down, for example when shooting in the middle of a crowd.

Cheers!

Yes, thanks, I'm aware of the limitations. Always wanted a waist level finder and frequently shooting upside down with my Pana GX7 so no problem except they seem quite hard to find. Out of stock everywhere. Finally found them on LotstoSave. Have 3 in the basket. 50$ for the mirrors and 57$ for delivery. Add 32% customs. Still not much if they make my beloved Sigmas easier to use. Just happen to be rather short on money right now (apartment refurbishment) so needed a night's sleep before pushing the button.
