I needed to take a few quick shots of something at the weekend and my old Nikon D800 was closest to hand, so I fired it up, looked through the optical viewfinder and instantly felt at home. I realize I’m probably going to be in the minority here, but I really do prefer optical finders to electronic viewfinders (EVFs).
Maybe it’s because I’ve got a bee in my bonnet about being present, having recently stood behind an Oasis fan, at the much-hyped reunion tour, who proceeded to film the entirety of the two-hour set on their phone. Even going so far as to plug the darn thing into a power bank halfway through. They might as well have watched it on YouTube and saved themselves from Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing.
