This angle finder may seem expensive (comparing to 3rd party ones), however, once you get a hold of it, you will appreciate its quality build and its smooth rotations. The angle finder is essential when taking outdoor low angle shots. Sometime it is used in indoor as well when you have those tide spots where you can't possible bend over and see. For example, against the wall.This finder can be used in night shots with tripods and they work perfectly. When you are shooting lower angle night shots, say, fireworks, (with remote release of course), this handy finder will save your neck by a bunch.

The Canon Angle Finder C is a well-built angle finder with good magnification. When I noticed that I am getting old and unable to focus those macro-shoots as usual, I know that I have to get a finder with some magnification. I decided on this Canon finder instead of the Nikon because of its versatility and magnification ranges. Maybe this is not that important to others but I like the ideal of be able to use it on Canon and Nikon cameras. The extra 0.5X of magnification may not seem much, but it is for my old eyes. There is nothing hard about using this device, and when attached to my camera, the view is clear and sharp. I also noticed that the adapter was a little loose when attached to my camera, but it is not too bad. Overall, this Canon Angle Finder C is a good quality finder, and will be an important part of my macro photography.

I have been shopping for an anglefinder for a long time. Of course, I got many suggestions from people to "just go for the cheaper ones because you won't use it as much". Oh, that's just wrong. Many people bought the 3rd party anglefinders, such as Seagull...etc, but the thing is, they are poor quality. From a few examples that I saw, those anglefinders are too fragile and can be broken easily. Plus the magnification rate is only 1.0X, not as Canon's 1.25X. At last, the fitting problem is the biggest one for those 3rd party anglefinders because the use cheaper materials. I have no regret on spending 2X money for an original anglefinder from Canon as it is guaranteed to work. Although the price is much higher than others, it's worth the price and it can be compensated in the long term.

I bought it for astrography thinking it would be helpful in focusing in the dark. You know it will be very difficult to tell if it is focused when you shoot a dim object at infinity. I taped the dioptric adjustment but I found it's useless. Because whenever I switch between 1.25 and 2.5 magnification, I should readjust the dioptric to make sure it was in focus. It became extremely awkward to switch among focus ring, dioptric, and 1.25 or 2.5 magnification in the dark.
