Hellebore

by Johnwnjr

Taken stooped down, and after the shot I fell over backwards, I have sent a query to the forum as to whether having a right angled finder might prevent my falling over! and where you can get one.

It's a nice shot with good light.

How much did you pay for it, if I may ask?

Oh heck! I got it at a fair price, £40 British Pounds, in mint condition with its case in 2010

It is the "M" version designed for the M series Pentax film cameras, but works really well on my Pentax K-5 and the K20D

Search "Angle finder pentax" on English language ebay sites.

(NOTER that the Olympus OM varifinder angle viewer also works perfectly on Pentax digital.)
