The Z-Finder is Zacutos Optical Viewfinder that allows DSLR cameras to have the correct form factor for video. It offers 3x focusable magnification, a 40mm diameter lens, an eyecup preventing extraneous light leakage, and a field of view perfectly matched to LCD screens. With Optics by Schneider, this 6 oz viewfinder is a filmmakers best tool for creating precision focus. The Z-finder currently fits the Canon 5d, Canon 7d, NikonD90, Panasonic GH1 (see note below), and many other cameras. The Z-finder is made to fit a 3 diagonal screen but other factors come into play such as button placement, slanting of the camera viewfinder etc. Please see below for interior dimensions of the Z-Finder.
The Z-Finder attaches to your camera LCD by using a flat snap fit frame. The snap fit frame attaches to your LCD screen with a double sided adhesive. The Z-finder snaps on and off to the flat frame very quickly. The Z-Finder also has optional rubber bands, Z-Bands, to hold the Z-finder in place. The Z-Bands are just a security measure to hold the Z-Finder in place in case of accidental bumping. The Z-bands are an option and can be added below. The Z-Bands cannot be used without the snap fit frame!
We also added a lanyard hook on the outside of the Z-Finder so you can attach a Zacuto lanyard to your Z-Finder. This allows for the user to quickly take the Z-finder off and on when needed. The lanyard hook and lanyard is included with the Z-Finder.
Z-Finder Features:
3x magnification
Range of 3 diopters
Allows DSLR cameras to have correct form factor for video
Field of view perfectly matched to LCD screen size
No light-leak eyecup
40mm diameter lens for excellent light throughput
Weight: 6 oz.
Outer dimensions of snap fit frame: 71mm wide x 56mm tall
Inner dimensions of snap fit frame: 62mm wide x 46.7mm tall
Extra Notes & Warnings:
- If you are going to be moving between extreme environments, it is suggested that you use an anti-fog material. Zacuto sells the Fog Eliminator; 3 sheets for $5.00.
- If you have two cameras or just need a spare mounting frame, that can be added when checking out as well.
- If you wear reading glasses/farsightedness, check the option below for taller mounting frame. The taller mounting frame is a temporary fix until we get our new frames. Once we get the new frame in stock, we will automatically send it to you. If you check the taller frame option, we will only send you the taller frame with the Z-finder, not the single frame.
- The Z-finder is a magnifier and as such will magnify the sun and could damage the LCD screen if the sun is allowed to shine directly through the Z-finder lens. This is not a defect but a physical property. Caution should be taken to avoid sun magnification.
- We have modified the snap fit frame to fit the Panasonic GH1. However, the Z-finder hangs below the GH1 camera body, therefore in order to set the camera down flat you need to have a plate on the bottom of the camera such as the Manfrotto 394. If you have the GH1 camera and want to use the Z-finder, when ordering please select that you have the GH1 camera.

I already know that I am going to purchase a NikonD90 camera and take some photography classes. I found a Nikon d90 kit on Ebay that includes the camera with 7 lenses (2 which are VR) and tons of accessories including carrying cases, 2 tripods etc for $1800…more stuff than I can list here.One of the lenses is a 650mm-1300mm long range lens. How much of all this stuff do I actually need to start a portfolio with??? Any input would be appreciated. I would like to get something that I don’t have to upgrade for AWHILE so I wouldn’t mind paying the price if it’s all really worth it.
Please , please, please IGNORE that ridiculous "kit" on eBay. 95% of it is useless junk which will either break or be tossed in the garbage. Those supposed "lenses" are nothing but cheap screw-in attachments which will do nothing except degrade your images. That 650-1300mm "long range lens" has slightly better optical quality than the average glass bottle. The tripods are cheap stamped metal which is flimsy and prone to shaking. There’s probably a 3 pack of filters included – filters of an unknown brand and dubious quality. One is probably labeled as an "FL" which is needed by film users in fluorescent light but is useless to you (your white balance can be set for flourescent light). The Circular Polarizer and UV filters will likely self-destruct after a few uses.
IGNORE THE EBAY KIT!
All you need to get started is the camera and lens that comes with it.
Buy a quality Haze/UV filter for your lens (one for each lens if you opt for a two lens kit) and a quality Circular Polarizer (again, one for each lens unless they share a common filter size). Heliopan, Hoya, Singh-Ray, B+W and Tiffen are all good filter brands.
Buy a good microfiber lens cloth to keep your filters spotless.
You can add a quality tripod later – Slik, Velbon, Benro, Manfrotto are just four good choices.
A short video on some of my Think Tank Gear, and how it all fits on the Pro Speed Belt. I have found them all to be excellent products, and I would recommend them. Shows the Digital Holster 40, LC 75 Pop Down Lens Case, the Lens Changer 15, and the Pro Speed Belt. Shot with my NikonD90.
I want to buy the Nikon D90. I have 2 choices:
1_Nikon D90 w/18-55mm VR + 55-200mm VR
2_Nikon D90 with 18-105mm VR Lens Kit
Both are currently AU$1749
I will be doing various type of photography. Like landscape, portrait, food photography, some sports and may be wild life if I get the time.
Last month in April they were more than $2000 (2200-2449) and this month they are that price. So I am thinking of waiting till next month which is June, they might get even cheaper so I can buy some extra accessories with it as well.
Which one should I buy? And
Is it a good idea to wait till next month?
I am thinking what if they change their mind and raise the price.
I will be buying it from TS Camera House OR Paxtons.
If you guys know any better shop tell me.
I live in Sydney Australia.
If I buy from amazon.com or any other websites. Is it safe.
In amazon it says $979. are they talking about US dollar.
The Nikon D90 w/18-200mm VR lens kit is AU$2449.
Too expensive for me right now.
Since I don’t have enough cash for the this kit. I would buy the camera with OK lens and buy the good one later.
Do the reseller reduce the price of their lenses when they sale it as a kit. Or they just add the lens price to the body only price.
I live in Sydney.
Will the price drop at the beginning of june or at the end of june?
Go for the first one if that is your limit. Be careful though, prices are already starting to drop with this "depression" many camera prices will drop dramatically at the end of next month as the close of the financial years approaches. A lot are already falling in Brisbane. (Not sure where you are.)
