Sony NEX 16mm optical viewfinder
Sony offers this bright optical viewfinder for the 16mm pancake lens as an aid for people that don’t like using the LCD in bright sunlight, or other reasons I suppose. The FDA-SV1 is part of the ‘smart accessory terminal’ system that currently includes the new EVF and two flashes.
This viewfinder is only for the 16mm F/2.8 lens, and will not provide the right field of view when using any other lens, or the two converters for the 16mm F/2.8 lens.
There isn’t much to this item, but check it out if you have nothing else better to do.

The latest box of new stuff includes; the Sony 30/3.5 macro, the fisheye and 18mm wide angle lens adapters for the NEX 16mm pancake lens, and the just released Canon G1X.
I’m going to jump right on the G1X with some samples and initial thoughts (tomorrow) as there was a mix-up of sorts. The camera came in at least several days to a week ago, and the people in the office forgot to tell me when UPS delivered it, plus, B&H forgot to let me know it was on the way, so technically I’ve had it a week already, and of course I can’t keep it forever.
I’ve been wanting to review the accessories for the 16mm pancake lens for quite a while now. I plan on doing some comps with other lenses to see how well the adapters hold up when you look closely, that should be interesting! I also have the accessory optical viewfinder for people that use the 16mm lens a lot outside.
So this is what’s coming up for review in the month of March; stay tuned!
