Tom Houston Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Anyone have one for sale or know where I could find one? I'd be willing to give up my Angeniuex viewfinder if someone is willing to swap plus cash. Thanks! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Ryan Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Do you mean for an NPR or ACL? I'm assuming ACL considering the direction you are trying to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Houston Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Yes, I an looking for a Kinoptic viewfinder for my ACL. Although isn't the fully orientable Angenieux viewfinder the same for both the ACL and NPR cameras? They look identical to each other. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom The Angenieux for the NPR and ACL do look similar where they attach to the body, but if you notice on the NPR, the reach is a bit further toward the rear of the camera. When going handheld with an NPR the large motor against your shoulder puts your head that much farther back. So, as I recall, the ACL finders would make you strain your neck forward if mounted on the NPR. So I can assume the opposite would be true if you mounted an NPR finder on an ACL. I'm not even 100% sure that the threads and focus are cross-compatible without modification. Someone please chime in if you know. It's been a while since I've used either camera, but I think these pictures verify what I recall: http://eclair16.com/eclair-npr/ (pictured with the ang. orientable finder) http://www.erkanumut.com/?s=acl (scroll down to the viewfinder pictures) Just something to consider if someone offers you an NPR finder rather than an ACL finder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
