I'm intrigued by that part about "take my eye out of the viewfinder...is a substantial loss."Chris S. wrote:I'm used to "flying" around the subject with micrometers, while keeping my eye in the viewfinder to find the best viewpoint. Using the Noga stands to hold the subject required that I take my eye out of the viewfinder to perform adjustments, which is a substantial loss. But it was definitely workable.
One of the things I like best about live view, using either my Canon T1i or Nikon D5000, is that I get to watch a large conveniently positioned monitor while adjusting the subject.
Why do you prefer looking through the viewfinder?
