FAQ
<details open>
<summary>Question: What is a "waist-level viewfinder" — do I look down into it?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Yes — it's a periscope-style optical viewfinder that mounts on your camera's cold shoe and lets you frame by looking DOWN at the top of it (Rolleiflex / Hasselblad medium-format style). You see through a real optical lens with a ground-glass focusing screen — not your camera's electronic screen. The slower, more deliberate composition style is the appeal: street photography, low-angle shots, environmental portraits, and the vintage rangefinder aesthetic.
</div>
</details>

<details open>
<summary>Question: Which cameras does it actually fit?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Any camera with a standard cold shoe. Officially listed: Ricoh GR II / III / IIIx; Fujifilm X100V / X100VI, X-E4, X-T30, X-T50; Sony a6000 / a6100 / a6400; Nikon Z30 / Z50 / Zfc; Canon R100 / R50 / R10; Olympus E-P7; Panasonic GX series. Important: it does NOT fit cameras already wearing a cage or expansion frame on the cold shoe.
</div>
</details>

<details open>
<summary>Question: What focal length does it match — will my lens fit the frame?</summary>
<div>
Answer: 28mm equivalent (full-frame). The view through the finder matches what a 28mm lens sees on full frame. Switchable 35mm and 50mm framelines are etched in the viewfinder for tighter compositions — you frame using the appropriate frame line for your actual lens focal length. Best matched cameras: Ricoh GR III/IIIx (28mm), Fuji X100V/VI (35mm equivalent at f/2), Sony a6000 series with 28mm or 35mm primes.
</div>
</details>

<details open>
<summary>Question: Does it require focusing, or is it just for framing?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Framing primarily — the ground-glass screen helps you visually verify composition and (with some practice) approximate focus. For sharp focus, use your camera's autofocus or zone-focus distance markings on your lens. Optimal optical clarity is at subject distances ≥5 meters — closer subjects work but show some optical aberration.
</div>
</details>

<details open>
<summary>Question: Will it block my hot-shoe flash or external mic?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Yes — since it occupies the cold shoe, you can't simultaneously use a hot-shoe flash, external mic, or remote receiver. Buyers typically use VF01 for travel/street photography where on-camera flash and audio aren't needed. For studio or video setups it's not the right tool.
</div>
</details>

<details open>
<summary>Question: How big is it and what colors are available?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Tiny: 45.2 × 38.2 × 44.2mm, 63g. Aluminum frame with leather-textured silicone for grip and aesthetics. Two finishes: Classic Black and Vintage Silver — silver matches Fuji X100 and Ricoh GR aesthetically. Includes a magnetic, foldable lens hood to reduce flare in bright light.

<summary>Question: How does it compare to a Voigtländer 28mm optical finder?</summary>
<div>
Answer: Voigtländer's 28mm hot-shoe finder ($250+) is glass-and-metal Leica-grade quality with multi-coated optics. The VF01 ($39.99) is an entry-grade waist-level periscope take on the same idea — not as crisp at the edges, but adds the down-look ergonomic angle Voigtländer doesn't have. Pick VF01 for the unique waist-level shooting style and budget; pick Voigtländer if you need pro-grade clarity for serious rangefinder work.
