Angle finders for OM system

[photogbob]

I'm seeking advice from anyone who has experience with angle finders

for the OM system. I've recently purchased an auto bellows and T10

ring flash and the angle finder seems like the next logical step.

The Olympus Varimagni finder gets a little pricey on eBay and I read

somewhere that the Pentax angle finder works on the OM system. The

Pentax finders are selling for a more reasonable price.

There seems to be several models of the Pentax and I'm not sure which

one will work with my OMs.

Any advice?

Not personally familiar with the Pentax, but the four variables in angle finders are:

1) Image quality

2) Reversal (left<>right)

3) Reversal (up<>down)

4) Magnification (and if more than one magnification is available)

And, of course, if the finder will physically fit onto the camera!

I think it is the "M" series right angle finders for the Pentax you are looking for that fit OM cameras. These converters don't reverse left/right like the Olympus one does and are more rare than you think.
