Those of you who don't have the chimney finder, you don't know what you're missing!!

You don't have a picture of it do you?

I'm trying not to buy any more camera equipment, so I hope it's not too temptingly amazing.

Yeah, I had to buy a light meter separately for £20.

Oh yeah, so glad I got one (unmetered). I can focus so much better with it.

I use the WLF more like a chimney finder 99% of the time anyway so I should probably switch them out.

i got one of these about a month ago and i really like it. it makes the camera a little more bulkier, but it still fits in my bag fine. i just kept looking at feebay daily. here's one: cgi.ebay.com/Mamiya-TLR-3-5-6X-Magnifying-Hood-Mamiya-C-w...

Oh this looks awesome! I use the magnifier with my WLF all of the time, mostly because there's too much glare when looking down without it. I have the porrofinder now too I think (no meter, but the image is corrected). I'll have to keep an eye out

Try KEH or ebay. It is very a very nice finder for the C330. But it is best on a tripod. It's a shame to get spot on focus and then end up with blur from shake while you hand hold. Hand-held, I use it to fine-focus and then rest the camera on a table or something else to fire the shutter.

I love my finder! I found it on fleaBay for ~$85US. It was in great shape; even the eyecup was present and pliable.

The downside is that it adds almost 4 inches to the height of the camera, so I have to take it off to get it into any camera bag I have.

The upside is that it weighs very little so it's not like putting a prism on the camera. And the 6x mag is really helpful if you only have a focus screen 1 on your camera.
