The view is clearer and larger the framelines are much more visible and the whole object is much more solid, and they are the same size. The Ricoh is a little more expensive, but is so much better.

I went to B&H and I tried the Sigma VF-11 and Ricoh GV-2 OVFs side-by-side. What I am very happy with, however, is the Ricoh GV-2 28mm optical viewfinder. I don't use the Sigma DP Merrill cameras myself - just not the right tool for me, as I need to take pictures in very low light. Bright and compact, I'll attest.ĭIGLLOYD: sounds like a match for the Sigma DP3 Merrill. Wanted to drop a line on the question of viewfinders for the DP3M: Voigtlander makes/made a Voigtlander 75mm viewfinder to accompany their (LT)M-mount 75/2.5 Heliar.

Sigma DP Merrill with optional optical viewfinders VF-11 and VF-21 I used one on the original Sigma DP1 (non-Merrill) about two years ago, and it works well enough to be useful for some types of shooting. Naturally as with any such viewfinder (as on the Leica M9), there is a parallax issue at close range, but they are reasonably accurate for framing at medium and far distance.Īny brand 28mm viewfinder ought to do for the DP1 Merrill (Zeiss, Leica, others), but the Sigma viewfinders are priced about as low as one might hope for. The viewfinders mount in the hot shoe of the camera as shown. There does not appear to be an optical viewfinder for the DP3 Merrill with its 75mm (equiv) focal length. However, the Sigma VF-11 optical viewfinder (28mm) and Sigma VF-21 optical viewfinder (41mm) are suitable for the Sigma DP1 Merrill and Sigma DP2 Merrill. Perhaps someday some of them will be implemented.Īn electronic viewfinder (EVF) would be ideal, but Sigma does not offer one. But until then: inconceivable.ĭIGLLOYD: I’ve suggested many things to Sigma. Tell Sigma to put in a viewfinder, even a simple optical one.
