Viewfinder - the most important part of an underwater housing!

You may choose from two variants of viewfinders

GD-viewfinder (Grand)

This SEALUX innovation gives the photographer a brilliant view- finder picture with the same quality as that of a sports viewfinder. The high-quality optical system, multicoated, enlarges the view- finder picture to a fantastic scale of reproduction. For this the eye- piece of the viewfinder is moved upwards, parallel to the lens. The viewfinder does not cover the monitor! This enables the pho- tographer to fully view of the picture, the setting data and to ob- serve the surroundings at the same time. A real action viewfinder! The viewfinder is most suitable for quick changing from vertical format to oblong format as well as for half-half photographs. Per- sons who wear glasses can still effect the diopter setting on the camera ocular.

LD-viewfinder(Long Distance) enlarges the distance between camera and eye to such an extent that a complete picture can be looked at even with the diving mask. The coated optics makes a good reading of all data in the viewfinder with a scale of reproduc- tion of 1: 1.6 possible.
