Product DescriptionPhoto Angle Finder C is very useful if you are shooting with the camera close to the ground. It allows you to bend down and look into the viewfinder from above the camera.
Amazon.com Product DescriptionThe Canon Angle Finder C is compatible with all Canon EOS cameras when used with the included Ec-C and Ed-C adapters. Allowing you to adjust the viewing angle, the Angle Finder C provides a full screen image, as well as exposure data. Also, the Angle Finder C has a built-in dioptric adjustment for variations in eyesight.
Macro Photography Essential (Rating: 5 out of 5) Photographers doing macro photography will find this an essential accessory. It can be difficult if not impossible to compose a shot if your camera and tripod setup are close to ground level-let's face it, who wants to lie on their stomach on the ground. With this item in your kit you can use the camera's viewfinder with ease, from a kneeling position.
Used in combination with a sturdy tripod and a macro focusing rail (another essential, in my opinion) you have a good close-up kit that will make macro photography a breeze.
An angle finder is also handy if using your camera tilted upwards at higher tripod settings. In these situations you usually have to bend your knees in order to use the viewfinder comfortably. Again, the angle finder makes things easier.
Whilst this is made for Canon cameras, other manufacturers will have similar items for use on their products.
If there is a negative, it's price. I find it to be on the dear side. However, I trust the Canon name for quality. The image through the finder is sharp. The switchable magnification feature is great for checking focus.
Useful but fits poorly (Rating: 4 out of 5) I use this very often as it helps me gain additional perspectives without putting my body into crouches. I would love to just leave it on my camera all the time but even after a week of receiving it, it fits poorly onto my Rebel XT. The first time it fell off, I was fortunate to be walking on grass. I probably should use a pair of pliers to bend parts of the metal bracket for a tighter fit but I am a bit reluctant because this was a very expensive item! It makes me wonder how the fit of the less expensive Hoodman version is.
Overall, I am happy with what it is intended to do but am disappointed with the fit of the bracket onto my camera.
Awesome (Rating: 5 out of 5) Saves your back and neck. I've captures some great shot with this Angle finder C. It's a must for you Canon DSLR.

Canon Angle Finder C (Rating: 4 out of 5) Pros:
Most likely the best accessory I have for my 30D. Well suited for low angle shooting of flowers etc.
Cons:
I've found no way to secure the finder to the camera. I cannot trust it to stay on the camera while moving about in the out-of-doors. Also a little more friction would be nice as the finder is rotated around, it tends to flop around far too much.
Buy This at Amazon, the price is right! (Rating: 5 out of 5) After working in the studio without it, I knew that it was a necessary item for my EOS Canon. Camera accessory vendors were asking a lot more than Amazon, so I ordered it before Amazon changed their mind and I've enjoyed using this original accessory from Canon ever since; Thanks, Amazon!
