[LRflex] Re: Query: Leica R 2x Viewfinder - Any Good?

Any EOS camera with live view works better for macro focusing than the 2x 
magnifier.  I have a Canon 5D MK II and the Leica R 2x magnifier.  It is a 
class 
B fit and not worth the effort when live view works so well.

If this is the one that fits an R8/9
(and as you'd expect)
it is optically and mechanically superb.
I use it all the time for macro;
and other difficult angled shots.
Love it.

Never considered putting it on the 5D
I'd imagine it would be some sort of P.I.T.A.
though I'll take a look over the weekend.
