Does anyone know if you can use a LCDVF or Z-Finder on the DMC-GH2? I didn't know if its touchscreen would cause a problem with mounting the magnetic frame that the LCDVF uses.

Thx
 
I have always had an interest in using a viewfinder with my GH1, now GH2. I never bought one because I always felt that they wouldn't fit correctly due to the lcd not being flat on the back and rather a flip out.

I would also love to her suggestions and it would be really great to see pictures of people using the viewfinders on their cameras.
 
The LCDVF has a new version for the GH1/2, GF, and NEX Series, you can find info in the LCDVF page and buy in the Gidetrack.com page.
 
Really glad to hear that finally someone is making a viewfinder specifically for the GH series. Here is the direct link to the GH version http://www.glidetrack.com/lcdvf-16-9.html

Although I do wish they had pictures with GH1/2. They for some reason showed it with a NEX and GF1, both of which do not have a protruding flip-out LCD.

Please post pics if anyone winds up getting this for GH1/2 or uses another viewfinder...
 
Thanks for posting this. I guess I bought the wrong LCDVF. Has anyone tried this on the GH2? I suppose there is no risk of damaging the touch screen by mounting this?
 
I have now tried the Zacuto Z-Finder on the GH2, and I must really say that it does not fit at all. The supplied Gorilla bottom plate and back metal plate does not work, so one has to buy a separate adhesive list. But even when using this, the Z-Finder will probably collide with the EVF on the camera. I suppose trying a LCDVF is a better idea.
