I've been wondering if there is there is any way I might be able to
actually see what I'm doing if I want to shoot from the hip with one of
my Pentax cameras. Are there any good options for this, besides getting
an LX and a proper waist-level finder?
Sorry Torulf, i just re-read the above para.
Fair enough...
I mis-read it the first time
and thought you already had the LX.
No, unfortunately, I don't.
I can see what you're trying to do, but it ain't gonna work old boy,
certainly not with a standard SLR that does not accept different finders.
Actually, shooting from the hip with cameras like the Pentax Optio 750Z
is very easy because of the flip out viewing screen. I use a Canon G2
with a similar screen and it works beautifully.

Otherwise, think of this as LX enablement :-)
Yep, like I just said, this is a good argument for getting an LX...
Cheers,
Cotty
