Hello everybody !

Just got my new PEN E-PL1 and it´s just amazing ! But I miss a viewfinder and I haven´t money for VF-2.So my question is-does exists any universal view finder which is cheaper than VF-1 ?
Thanks

Dominik

For the Pens there are only 3, as far as I know:
VF-1 - optic, for the 17mm
VF-2 - electronic for all the models (apart from the E-P1)
VF-3 - cheaper version of the VF-2

No universal viewfinder available.

I have an LCD Viewfinder i got from ebay, it basically magnifies the LCD screen, it's pretty good for me and does help a little when it comes to manual focusing

The VF-2 is going to be your best bet for cheapness.

Can you post a photo of your viewfinder please ?

Thanks a lot

the VF-2 is the only serious option. You get a view better than the lcd.
