HM700 vs EX3
 

Steve,

Unlike the EX3, the HM700's viewfinder has a very large lateral adjustment range and is well suited for left eyed use. I wear glasses and am a "left eyed shooter" myself. I've found the HM700 to be very comfortable and well balanced when used in the shoulder mounted mode.

Thanks for the responses... I have the "aftermarket" 16x9 finder on the 500 (I forget the #) which I have modified to sit forward 1 1/2" for better balance.. I've designed a plate to also move it to the left, but it's starting to get to be awkward and won't fit in the case...

I had a chance to look at a 700 a few weeks ago, but I didn't take my eye situation into account at the time - I used my right.. I'm going to try to check one out again soon...
