Duncan, actually I was talking about the viewfinder. Somewhere earlier in this Thread I did raise the question of other makes of viewfinder that might be cheaper (or secondhand)that would do the trick. Don't forget they all fit on the flash hotshoe which is a standard size. Duncan though thought the Pentax one was the best.

Duncan just for the record the Amazon price is £179.99 SRS £199. But I guess these days one has to factor in the slave labour rates at Amz.

Smeg - they did, but you missed them

One of the Dictionary definitions of ‘Candid’ is ‘Informal’, so this is how I would see the question.
1. Street Photography I would agree with a few here, implies photos of Streets with people in them somewhere. (Otherwise they are architectural or an historical record – eg before it’s pulled down).
2. If ‘Candid’ is informal, and ‘Portrait’ is posed or asked for, then it follows that there should be two definitions to clarify things.
a) Street Photography (which has people in it), and is ‘Candid’.
b) Street Portraiture, where an individual who happens to be in the Street/Park etc, is maybe asked to ‘pose’ for the pic and is usually closely cropped so that less of the ‘Street’ environment is evident.
QED

Hi Ken,
What I read didn't mention it had parallax correction Have you seen the Amazon price for it?

KEN Ken I have read somewhere that there is a problem with the Optical Viewfinder in that it doesn't really work for close ups. Given there are a host of Hot Shoe mountable viewfinders about, I wonder if there are other, adjustable, ones about?

Sorry Sir - I was taking a pic of that Building and someone walked into shot - not my fault SIR

I wonder if Bresson ever asked

Duncan – great minds think alike – Look at previous threads ‘Q on Q’ and ‘Q7 with K Mount Adapter’
Might give more food for thought.
AND if Gartmore exhorts it’s value, it sure must be good

My first camera was a Kodak RetinaII – the one with the bellows and fantastic Zeiss lense. It was a ‘hand me down’ from my brother who bought it in Germany when he was in the RAF. My second was a ‘S’ which came exactly the same way ! I had it for ages but can’t remember what happened to it. If only one knew what one knows now
