// #Affordable EVFs are hard to find.
Cheap models often dissatisfy with having a low resolution, bad image quality or they simply lack of #professional connectors. The #LEYE #SDI from #PortKeys is a competitively priced model that looked incredibly promising on the specs side, but turned out to have serious issues with it‘s eyepiece. A distorted, too small image stood in it‘s way to become a successful #viewfinder you can trust and like to work with when framing your images. 

But as there are no real alternatives in the LEYE’s price range and it also showed a lot of #potential I gave it a closer look and found a #solution to #modify it and get the most out of it. Together with my friend Luca we designed an #adapter to swap the #eyepiece (that causes the issues) with the #Z-Finder from #Zacuto.

The result is amazing, providing you an image that‘s twice as large as the #loupe from PortKeys delivers and it is also free of the distortions that made the original LEYE almost unusable under professional conditions. The #modification consists of two 3D models that you can easily #print with a #3D printer.
