evf vs Optical (3 Viewers)

[andy271]

a question do you prefer optical or evf viewfinder i find with my z7 after a couple of hours my eyes get tired and i get headaches but when i use my big optical viewfinder on my 1dx i can go for hours without any strain maybe my arms will be tired but good excersise.
is no one worried about eye problems being so close to a organic light emitting diode oled screen so close to the eye

I prefer a optical viewfinder with diopter, no electronics involved. It works in strong light and I do not need my glasses (spectacles).

Yes ted i agree sometimes older tech is better

I have to admit that the length of time my eye is actually looking through the viewfinder is pretty small. But everyone's mileage may vary I guess.

Why would you need glasses for an EVF if you can use an optical viewfinder without them? They both have a dioptre adjustment, although I guess the range on some would vary.

Well boys and girls, you better get used to using EVF because DSLR’s are going the way of the Dodo. The writing is on the wall.

Sigma has discontinued 18 DSLR lenses, Tamron has discontinued 22 DSLR lenses - Nikon Rumors

30 Canon DSLR lenses discontinued - Amateur Photographer

Having used EVF’s on Sony and Nikon since 2013 I find they are so much better than OVF’s.

You are right, one can understand from the post that an EVF cannot have diopter adjustment.

All is not lost. Leica produces Rangefinder Camera.

Huh? Of course they have diopter adjustment.

True.
My text (my post #2) can be understood as ignoring/negating this fact.
