      Comments about Olympus® VF-2 Electronic Viewfinder, Black:

      Makes the camera really great to use. The Diopter Adjustment is easy and effective - I can't read the info on the LED display without glasses but I can with a simple turn of the eyepiece. The image is startlingly bright at first but it is not a negative in any way. This is a great accessory.

        This viewfinder takes the Olympus pen cameras to a whole new level. Really makes all the difference in focusing on bright days when it can be a little hard to see on the LCD.

          Comments about Olympus® VF-2 Electronic Viewfinder, Black:

          External viewfinder for Olympus M4/3 cameras. Essential for taking pictures in full sun as LCD screen is almost useless in very bright conditions. EVF is almost as good as optical viewfinder of DSLR's. Finder can be moved through different angles so useful for low-level closeup photography. Eyepiece could be larger but consistent with camera size.

          when I first looked into it I could hardly believe it was a digital image. Way better than similarly specced competitors evf. Makes shooting in bright sunlight a brease, and improves tracking moving subjects.
