Before you offer your critique, although you can already do so in various places on this site, it would be nice to see some of your own images. Sharing works two ways.

Please feel free to post some pictures either in the Gallery or in the Your Photos section of the forum.

Well we don't have to guess the reason, it's detailed in the instruction books. In gloomy conditions of course there won't be much light entering the eyepiece anyway. It's bright conditions where the problems arise.

Usually the morning brings great clarity, but I can't vouch for that after a 24 hour drinking spree. I wonder how that affects camera shake?

It's not so much the posts as how others react. We want to be welcoming, not round on newcomers who say something someone doesn't like.

It's simple enough for you to check. Light spilling through the viewfinder can affect exposures and light leak can get to the sensor with long exposures.

Try it and see. There has to be a reason that the viewfinder cap has always been provided with SLR cameras with built in metering.

The eyuep[iece can be shielded by a hand, which works just as well and is even more convenient. Just don't actually touch the camera during a long exposure or shake may result.

The second shot has great potential but could do with being sharper.

Black and white IR images are more usual, but in this case the colour makes for an attractive shot.

Off topic comments removed. No hounding of others please. By all means disagree and present counter-arguments but there's no need for it to get personal.

Whilst that's true testdasi it makes use of bayonet lens hoods difficult and the filters are very prone to flare. It's not an elegant solution.

Filters are available in a huge range of sizes but not all types in all sizes.

Possibly someone like SRB Griturn might help, but it just needs some research. Someone somewhere will have loads of 49mm filters that they'd love to sell.

How about phoning round the dealers and also don't forget camera fairs.
