Comments about Leica X2 EVF2 Electronic Accessory Viewfinder:
Converts the camera from a point and shoot to a proper tool for good photography. A must have for bright light, good composition, low light and everything in between. A bit expensive but once you have it you will soon forget about the cost. B&H is a great store to get your gear.

Comments about Leica X2 EVF2 Electronic Accessory Viewfinder:
I use the EVF2 more or less as my standard viewfinder on the X2. Strictly speaking it is not "necessary" as the large screen is very useful for composing shots, but it provides a much more intimate connection to the camera and, particularly in connection with candids of people interacting, allows me to track the action and get a shot (for example) where no one is blinking, looking away or being unphotogenic. What is really great about this item is that it turns my light-weight, compact and relatively unassuming camera into a powerful DSLR because with it, I can see what the lens sees. Plus, it piggybacks the X2's power supply but does not drain the battery very much at all; also, in high or low light situations, it is many times more reliable than the big screen, plus, it is amply, internally lit. In short it's a pleasure.OK, it may be a bit pricey, but as is the case with many high-value items, it delivers.

Comments about Leica X2 EVF2 Electronic Accessory Viewfinder:
I am so used to looking through a view finder. The X2 was my 2nd point and shoot digital cam. The first was the Sony S70 bought over 10 years ago now (many years ago retired). Since then I have owned 5 Canon DSLRs up to my current go to cam the 5d.
So basically looking at the back of the camera screen does not feel that natural to me.
With this view finder the quality is amazing for an electronic screen. It looks just as good as optical to me, but with the added bonus of being able to display all of the onscreen information and menus etc.
The refresh rate is fast and never lags. When you look through, the image is quite big, hard to exactly say how much but comparable to the view size of an slr. (this was my biggest question about buying this as there is not much info on how big the screen will appear when you look through.) I am very glad I took the leap of faith and got this as it has completely changed the X2 for me.
I enjoyed the camera with out the view finder, but now love it with it. I use it 90% of the time I use the camera.
My only gripe is that it takes the hot shoe. I have pocket wizards for my canon gear and I can trigger remote flashes in 'basic trigger' mode with the X2. If I want to use external flash, I have to give up the viewfinder. Not a huge deal.
Just get it, you will be happy you did!!

Comments about Leica X2 EVF2 Electronic Accessory Viewfinder:
This is not essential, but I prefer to compose my images using a viewfinder so I purchased it. I use reading glasses that I don't always wear, so the viewfinder, for me, is essential, especially if focusing manually. Also, the ability to turn the viewfinder up to shoot is a plus.

Comments about Leica X2 EVF2 Electronic Accessory Viewfinder:
If you haven't purchased one, then stop waiting. Turn the EVF2 on and turn off instant playback and lcd in general. Then get back to what you know about photography and stop relying on all the instant (gotta have it now) feedback that takes the fun away.
