A "Directors View Finder" is a professional tool used by motion picture directors and directors of photography to help them pick the right lens for the shot in a particular scene from a camera that is pretty much bolted to the ground and is not going to be moved easily.

In the field of still photography, I have never seen one of these used ... most still photographers know their lenses and cameras so well, it is just not a necessary added expense .... they would rather buy another lens.

If you think the economy Alan Gorgon directors viewfinder is expensive ... look at the Arri at over $2,500 ... used

Check with Birns and Swayer for them ... they sell one called the BS Micro Director's Viewfinder for $269.95
