Re: best viewfinders for close-up work

Most of the viewfinders on old folding cameras (or any non-slr for that
matter) are useless for close-up since they do not adjust for parallax
closer than a meter.

I pre-visualize the scene when I do close-ups which for the most part
works out well for me. (Another words, I just point and shoot with out
any framing devices.)
