Sigma EVF for Sigma DP Merrills

[Chris2500dk]

Some very ingenious people in China have come up with an external viewfinder for the DP cameras.
It should work for both the old DPs and the Merrills.

The resolution is low, 320x240, which is the same as the display on the old DP series, but for use in bright light conditions it should be acceptable.
They say they can make a higher resolution EVF if the demand is there.

I'm definetely tempted to pick one up if the price isn't too high.

OT alert.

This is what I loved about the Chinese. They are incredibly innovative. If any of you have been to China Shenzhen (Huaqiang Bei road), you will see all sort of incredible electronic stuffs selling at an amazingly low price. I remember years ago when I gotten myself an MP3 player for less than S$100 and that player is still working, while I wear off three or four other branded MP3 players.
