Waist level finders are great at waist level but I have tried using one on a head-height tripod and that got a bit interesting because to see the thing the body had to be on its side.
you know, elsewhere in the forum, you'd end up getting a warning for "disruptive thread edting"...
fortunately, we made certain allowances for the less decisive in F&C
I can't believe I never thought of that before!! I was trying to shoot over a fence and had the tripod at max height had to climb on a wall to see down the RB's wlf.
you have to have the subject behind you!
Hey, don't blame the F&C meets, when he's attended, Andy has always exercised strict will-power and refused the very suggestion of a burger... either that or he's too bloomin tight to buy one!WLFs are OK for the young, increasingly I find a mysterious obstruction interfering with my view. That may have something to do with bacon butties, burgers and pints at F&C meet-ups.
Oh my, Andy. What's ailing you today? Have you been reading that Martin Lewis mantra again?there's no need to spend money that I don't need to spend.
Sounds like a recipe for falling overYou can, but it's a bit confusing! The other one is using the WLF to get a shot from high up by holding the camera upside down above your head. And if you don't want to hold the camera backwards in your hands, you have to have the subject behind you!
as does thatLager however is luvverly
No idea what he said in the original post but this has got to be a challenge, see how long we can keep this thread going without knowing what @Andysnap said originally.
What's wrong with Zenits then? I'm the proud owner of two and was shooting with one of them last weekend.Yes, I believe it was his letter to Santa.... but apparently Mrs Snap, upon seeing that the list contained words like 'Hasselblad' and 'Leica', threatened to write to Santa and tell him that Andy hadn't been a very good boy at all, unless those words were immediately swapped for the words 'Zenit' and 'Fed'!
Nothing at all, it was the price difference between the brand names I was joking about.What's wrong with Zenits then? I'm the proud owner of two and was shooting with one of them last weekend.
But did Zenit ever do a camera with a waist level finder?

Hmm, interesting, I bet it's built like a tank.Salyut, Zenith-80 - copy of Hassy 1600 http://www.sovietcams.com/index.php?-1751285155

If this is a thread simply on change of plans, I did decide against popping in to our local PC World this evening due to the inclement weather to get a SSD to backup an ailing computer. Since I didn't buy anything (as I didn't pop in) there are no photos of a new purchase, and therefore nothing to see.
Changing your mind is a bit like changing your camera - you always hope that the new one will work better...
Dunno, but mine needs a clean.Where can I go to part-ex my mind? This one I got at birth is bloody useless!

That implies the presence of intelligence at some stage.I believe certain intelligence agencies offer brain washing...
Which raises the question, would a brain that's never been used be worth more on the second-hand market?That implies the presence of intelligence at some stage.
