I view through an optical viewfinder on my Fujifilm X100T. Will it be easy to raise the camera up to my eye?

Yes. It is very easy to raise to the eye. What I like about the strap is that it can be adjusted to a length that will work for you. I am very pleased with the strap.
1060825
Yes, just loop it over your head and one shoulder, if you put it on correctly you can slide the camera up the strap; if you put it on backwards it cannot be raised so you will know to reverse it.

I use a different camera, but I found it very easy to raise the camera to my eye when I wanted to take a picture. I am very happy with this strap, and used it last summer on a trip to Europe. The cross body design kept it close to my side - unlike a standard necklace type strap that lets the camera swing out and bang into things. I never once bumped my camera into anything.

I have this strap attached to a Panasonic DCM-LF1 camera also with a viewfinder. I really enjoy this strap because the camera slides along the strap allowing you to effortlessly bring it up to eye level. I have the strap length adjusted so that I can put the camera in my pocket while the strap is still around my neck. After trying mine, I bought one for my wife as well.

It is a clumsy situation. As a right hander, I loop the strap on my left shoulder - - the camera rests from the crotch area to the right hip. To use the camera, slide the the separate single-point "camera strap" up the shoulder strap to raise the camera to eye level. However, the "camera strap" is only about 1.5" long and when you bring the camera to your eye to view through a viewfinder, the "shoulder strap" will rub your face. It doesn't effect use, but it feels awkward.

I put it in Lens facing down but it can go in lens up if you prefer. I would rather not pull on the lens.

Yes. Personally I would not buy a camera that did not have one. Fuji calls it EVF, Electronic ViewFinder. A digital camera does not have optical viewfinder; instead the digital image can be displayed on the LCD screen or electronic viewfinder. (A switch on the back of the camera is used to choose where the image is displayed.) I always use the EVF to take the picture and the LCD to view the pictures I have taken. Having the camera up to the eye is more stable than holding the camera out at arms length to see the LCD. I highly recommend this camera.

I would like a viewfinder too. I suspect it may be difficult to do one well on a 12x zoom. Viewfinders are a little inaccurate even on 4x zooms. So, it may be that the cost would be prohibitive.

Sorry to be equivocal, but it depends. If it is really bright, you won't be able to see much of anything, and you will likely miss having an optical viewfinder. But if you're able to throw caution to the wind, this camera does a great job capturing photos, and you can just crop later (if that's something you're able and willing to do). I bought this camera for my father, who is 83, and he's taking some great pictures with it.

I seem to get great photos at full optical zoom if i hold the camera very steady. Maybe you should try using a tripod

Thank you for your inquiry. This tripod will get you very close to zenith. It depends somewhat on you are viewing with and the position of the control arm. We hope this has been helpful.

Think of it as a slide scale. The more you telescope out the higher the f goes. But it's not the kind of dial in setting sort of lens

Yes you can go up as far as straight ot eye level,if you will,and go downas far as piont to you're nose,lol, it has predetermined settings that click in yo place.,no tightening of knobs,push in and out for zoom

my setup is 7' high and 10' from the screen. The lens is in maximum zoom position to attain about 120" screensize.

I was curious since I have never tried that before. I just tried it and with the additional brackets that come with it I was able to position the viewfinder directly in front of my eye perfectly. That was tested with a Canon T3i. Your results may vary depending on camera, etc but it worked perfect for me.

You can go into setting and get the camera to tilt almost stright down but not all the way. However with wide angle lens it has it sees directly under it very well.

This does not work with the x100T as is it impedes the lens from focusing at close range - it will give you a focus error and hit the lens against the filter. Read the June 17 answer for details, but the short answer is no, not without additional elements

there is a chrome ring on the lens of the x100s - you need to unscrew the ring, and then you can screw on the JJC LH-JX100

The lens height was fine for me. I have a 120" curve screen (projector) and the wear and view is really great. Also, It allows you to switch view for your stronger eye. I am actually going to purchase 2 more. I hope that helps.

Unless you're shifting your viewing angle quite drastically, you shouldn't have any problems. I can go from the lowest to highest heights on my desk chair without seeing much of an impact.

I use this without any trouble on my Fuji X100s. Should work on an XT-1 as well.
