Re: 45 degree viewfinder - worth the money?

If I were going to get one, it would be the 45.   The 180 doesn't offer much to me.   But of course being mirrorless, the LCD already serves the 180 uses well, at the cost of battery.  You being on the SLR is a different matter.

But this is again where the external 5" displays interest me, as they can be shifted up and down on angles as you wish.   The Nauticam solution will cost considerably more than 1300 - I think it's probably closer to 3 for the housing, the monitor, and the cabling.   But Backscatter sells the Anglefish which is a single piece housing/display for ~1500.

See if you can arrange to try out both.   The VF won't add drag or weight over your existing, but I don't think swapping back and forth is very convenient.
