Re: VF-31 Viewfinder on DP1M

Don I haven't tried autofocus and the VF-31, but I had thought I might give that a go over the next week or so, just setting the autofocus point to the centre - should be fairly accurate.

At the same time I got the viewfinder I purchased a Hoodman. This is a well made bit of kit and, because it is made of a rubber type material, I have found, hanging it around my neck and the holding to the back of the screen, along with pressure up against the eye, that it stays in place perfectly well. I had thought that I could get a couple of those big red rubber bands and just twist around the neck of the Hoodman, then flick them around the lens. That should work very well but may be a little aesthetically unpleasing. I wear contacts 80% of the time but I have found that I get more than 100% of the viewfinder whilst wearing my glasses. I am really happy with the Hoodman.
