Sometimes and sometimes.....
If it is bright out and your eyepiece covers your eye, you can make out some
detail...enough to aim with.
If the mirror is properly sealed & you aren't using internal metering, you
shouldn't need to caver it....
at least on Canon 630's....

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] body cap SLR conversions

Can one see thru the prism/viewfinder on an SLR with a pinhole drilled
body cap?

Does one need to cover the eyepiece on an SLR conversion to prevent
stray light entering thru the eyepiece?

Thanks

Murray
