Rollei EVF for E-P1
Manual focus pain on E-P1 just because it lack a EVF? One morning I came up with this idea: can I just magnify the Liveview LCD in front of my eyes as a EVF? A Rollei TLR came into my mind: isn't the TLR just have a viewfinder for viewing a SCREEN? What if it's not a focusing screen but a liveview LCD screen?
The result is really good. Although the LCD on E-P1 is not in very high resolution and you can see every single pixels with the Rollei viewfinder, manual focus is almost as fast as you can get on a true manual camera, and the viewfinder is almost directly behind the lens which even closer to SLRs and rangefinder.
I am seriously thinking how should I fix the viewfinder on the E-P1 but at the same time detachable, and is it possible I can get a smaller TLR viewfinder?
