Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Angle Finder C for Canon EOS SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Great Optics!
Summary: 4 Stars
Great little piece of hardware typical of Canon! Image is sharp from corner to corner. The only possible negative is rotating the view angle from landscape to portrait the joint could be a little tighter. Just feels a little loose but sets in the detent ok and doesn't move.Customer Review: Great item
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a must have item for any one taking low pictures. Also is great for keeping your face away from the view screen
Customer Review: Excellent With One Major Fault- Weak Adapter Springs
Summary: 3 Stars
I absolutely loved my Canon Angle Finder and everything about it except for the adapter springs- they're made of soft mallable metal and they don't hold their tension. They loosened up after only using a couple of times and I worried about dropping it, or worse, losing it. I tried bending the springs back, but they quickly loosened again. Well, while touring my gardens and hiking through the woods last week, shooting small flora and fauna, mine fell off the camera somewhere along the way and is lost forever. I should've known better after feeling the way I did about the springs. I truly loved this piece of equipment and used it very often and I'm really upset that I have to buy another. I'm very hesitant to do this and may indeed check out other options but I've always used all Canon products so I'm in a quandry as to what to do. If you buy this DO NOT leave it on your camera under ANY circumstance- it should be removed and stored everytime you move your set up. Tsk tsk Canon, your cheap springs cost you a five star rating and have upset a long time faithful customer.
Oct 11, 2010 update: My wife found the angle finder in one of our gardens when doing a fall clean up!!! It was covered in mud, was filled with moisture/water and had two baby slugs living in it (eww!). Initially it didn't look good but I decided to see if I could fix it and found a schematic online. I took it apart, cleaned it all very carefully and thouroughly and let it dry out for a few days. I just finished putting it all back together and it literally works as good as new. Talk about tough! The weakest thing on this amazing accessory is the adapter springs but I'll give it an extra star now for toughness (4 stars). So glad it's back and that it had been on backorder or I would now have two. Things sometimes work out. ;)
Customer Review: sloppy adapter springs
Summary: 2 Stars
As a wildlife photographer with a stiff back and neck I was looking for an alternative to my skimmer ground pod and whimberly gibled head for low angle shots with my canon 1d mk III /500mm f4 set up. Being able to set up and look down would relieve my back problem and allow for low angle shots. When I first put the angle finder on the mk III it fit ok however the second time it was very loose and i found it difficult to use and lost many good shots of a group of shore birds until i took it off and discovered that the springs were very loose. I pushed them back into place with my finger which improved the fit but any adjustment and the adapter loosened up again. Others have reported this same problem. The optics seem ok. I would recommend this for a static set up but not for any dynamic subject. Note, the box that contained this product is labeled made in china. All of my other canon product boxes say "made in Japan".
