LICHIFIT 28mm External Optical Side Axis Viewfinder for Ricoh GR for Leica X Series Cameras

Item is garbage . You cant see a thing through it and it does not line up with the lens . Spend mote money and ger a better one somewhere else

Its just a plastic cube that sits in the hot shoe. Perfect for my Instax Mini Evo. It's pretty close to the same frame lines in terms of FOV.

I ignored all the other bad reviews thinking “well it’s cheap, as long as it functions that’s fine”Well, it’s cheap relative to the insane $250 official Ricoh GR viewfinder, but still too overpriced. This should cost $2 it’s so badThe plastic lens distorts the image like you’re looking through the bottom of a coke bottle, the field of view isn’t correct, and there are no frame lines so you can’t use this in any accurate way for framing so it has no practical use.I might try to etch in my own frame lines to salvage it, but I would not recommend buying

Plastic made viewfinder not as clear optically as glass ones i’ve used

Fits perfectly! Allows me to shoot with the screen closed and helps compose in direct sun

very good and functional

you get what you pay for. I bought this to try on my leica CL to figure out my 28mm lens but this didn't really help. I don't know if the whole view is 28mm or what exactly because there are no frame lines. Its cheaply made but it also doesn't need to be that strong i guess? i would not recommend

I really can’t understand how the manufacturer messed this up. But somehow, this little viewfinder came out blurry.I bought it because it looked like a cute little accessory for my Lumix GF 1 camera. It fits nicely in the slot on top of my camera because my camera does not have a viewfinder. I thought this would help lineup photos in bright sunlight. You can still do that, but it’s annoying how blurry this is and it makes you not want to use it at all. You win some and you lose some. Sorry to say, this one definitely was a loss. When you manufacture photography related equipment one thing you should strive for is clarity in an optic, even if it’s plastic. Yep, this one falls short.
