New Viewfinder Included With
Nexus Housings
Ocean Optics is supplying Nexus D200 and D80 housings with a newly developed Inon viewfinder. The Inon viewfinder offers underwater photographers four important benefits. Firstly, this viewfinder is a genuine magnifier, providing an enlarged image of the cameras own focusing screen. So it is easier to compose your picture, focus manually by eye and read your viewfinder information displays. Many housings have image reduction viewfinders fitted, which make the image smaller and can impair your view of the all important focusing screen and information displays.
Secondly, the Inon viewfinder supplied by Ocean Optics places the eyepiece at 45 degrees. This slanted position is perfect for taking pictures while swimming, lying prone on the seabed or trying to shoot from low angles. It’s also very helpful for composing split-level shots at which Nexus housings excel as you can dip the camera while keeping the finder above the waterline.
Thirdly, the Inon viewfinder swivels. This lets you shoot easily in portrait mode without having to assume near impossible positions yourself in order to look through the finder. So this right angle finder is really user friendly compared to a fixed finder.
Finally, the Inon viewfinder is easily removed from your Nexus housing for travelling, It’s sealed by two piston O rings for reliability, but can be detached in seconds without tools. This keeps your already ultra compact Nexus housing exactly that – ultra compact.
The best masks to use with the Inon viewfinder are low volume models with a black skirt. These features make it easier to see all of the screen and information displays and improves contrast. Mavericks, our dive shop, carries a selection of suitable face masks. We can also install prescription lenses if you need them.
