Comments on: LCDVF vs. Z-Finder V2 (Part II) http://www.gearnewsandreviews.com/?p=230 Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:48:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: bunkofurko http://www.gearnewsandreviews.com/?p=230&cpage=1#comment-940 bunkofurko Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:44:31 +0000 http://www.gearnewsandreviews.com/?p=230#comment-940 The LCDVF truly is the best LCD VF going by far, definitely beats the crapola out of the Hoodman HoodLoup and IMO, also the Zacuto Z-finder. Also, does anyone know when the company will release to USA dealers a revised LCDVF that will have a frame that fits the shorter but wider T2i/550D LCD panel perfectly? Also, where can I get the red colored eyepiece, as all the LCDVFs I have seen online now in the USA are black colored. Maybe they had red-eyepiece in 2009 and now only handle the black ones?

I'm so glad that the info in the review could help you out. I spent a long time doing research and decided to buy both and see which one I liked best. In the end I ended up selling the Zacuto, although that's not to say that's it is not an excellent product. I just found the LCDVF to suit my needs a little better. I'm actually in Taiwan at the moment. I work here and get back to Seattle as often as I can. Our next trip 'home' won't be until June...It's going to be a long haul. Hi Becker.

I'm trying to decide between the two and this is really helpful. Also, I noticed we are both in Seattle. If you're still holding on to a few of these interested in selling, give me a shout-- contact info is at my site: http://ericbecker.me. Thx, Becker Hey Steve– thanks so much for this review.

Has Tonis stopped selling them already? There's been some talk of a Zacuto Z-Finder Jr. coming out, but I'm not sure when. Steve That’s too bad. Has Tonis stopped selling them already?

It's like the phantom of the 7D ;-) I've seen pictures of it though, but that's not good enough ;-) Only problem is that one can’t buy the LCDVF anywhere.

I honestly can't see (pardon the pun) how you can shoot outdoors and try and focus with the standard LCD screen... And I wear reading glasses !! Great review.. Bought my LCDVF a few months ago,
