Olympus VA-1 Angle Finder for E-1/-300

The Olympus VA-1 Angle Finder for E-1/-300 offers a twin solution for capturing unique shots, enabling focusing to be carried out from virtually any position by offering full size-view and 2x magnification. It is very useful when using telephoto, close-up and macro lenses.

The VA-1 fits over the camera's optical viewfinder. Its viewing tube rotates a full 360°, with click-stop positions every 90° for even the most difficult shooting angles.
A built-in diopter corrector ring allows adjustments between +3 to -5 diopters.
The VA-1 can be attached to all E-System cameras with the supplied adaptor rings.

When attached to the camera's eye coupler (Attached using the adaptors provided VA-A1 for E-1, VA-A2 for E-300), the VA-1 allows the photographer to check the viewfinder image in a vertical direction. This facilitates viewfinder checking during low-angle work, such as crouching shots or macro-photography, and upward shots, such as night-sky photography.

Variable Magnification for Easy Focus Checking:
The viewfinder image is shown erect and unreversed. With 1x magnification, the entire image is covered, while 2x magnification provides an expanded view of the central area. The magnification can be selected using a simple one-touch lever. Dioptric correction is possible over a range of -5 to 3m-1. The eye coupler is fitted with a rubber eye cup.

Rotating Angle Section for Various Shooting Positions:
The angle section can be rotated with clicks at 90-degree intervals. This feature allows the VA-1 to be configured for a wide range of shooting positions.
