Important Notes
-
The OV-X2 17° viewfinder is a standalone viewfinder only and does not have built-in metering capability. It needs to be used in combination with the Area 2S meter for light metering.
-
Difference between the OV-X2 17° and OV-X1 17° viewfinders: The X2 features bright composition frame lines for 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm; the X1 does not have composition frame lines. For other differences, please refer to the comparison chart below.
-
The OV-X2 17° viewfinder is an independent optical viewfinder and does not display metering results inside. The viewfinder does not communicate or sync with digital/film cameras.
-
In low-light or high-contrast scenes, the bright frame lines may not be immediately visible. This is normal. In such cases, move your eye up, down, left, or right to locate the frame lines.
-
All frame lines in the OV-X2 17° viewfinder are displayed simultaneously; it is not possible to display only one set of frame lines at a time.
-
The OV-X2 17° viewfinder comes with a cold shoe, allowing it to be mounted directly on your camera's cold/hot shoe.
-
When using the OV-X2 17° viewfinder on a non-full-frame camera (e.g., APS-C), equivalent conversion is required. Please convert the focal length of your lens to its full-frame equivalent.
