I've only had this for a week or so and there was really only one reason to buy this accesory - to gain some stabilization at lower shutter speeds from holding the camera to your face when taking pictures.
The viewfinder is well built and fits very snugly into the flash shoe, but if you use the Lens Hood For Sigma DP-1 in conjunction with this viewfinder, the hood will partially obscure the view - this is common with smaller cameras though and perhaps unavoidable. Of course you can't use this with the Sigma EF-140 Electronic Flashgun For Sigma DP-1 either because the viewfinder fits in the flash shoe.
It is eye-wateringly expensive though and I'm not surprised that even camera shop owners baulk at the pricetag! Perhaps the sliding value of the pound is more responsible than Sigma for this though. Recommended buy? Only if you really want it. It's probably better to think about buying the flash, hood and wide-angled lens first.
So, three stars because of the price and the (inevitable?) incompatibility with other Sigma DP1 accessories.

Get the External Viewfinder for your DP-1
29 Mar 2008
Forget about the review that thinks this is overpriced, I think it is a valuable addition to the DP-1 and if you've ever bought pro quality accessories for a Nikon, Leica, etc., this is a bargain.
The quality is very good, it is compact, fits perfectly on the camera -- in short it looks like it belongs there. If you are serious about street or action shooting, you need this accessory.

A must for the DP1
28 May 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
Unlike point and shoot compacts such as Canon etc offerings, the DP1 is designed for photographers. Trying to use the DP1 as a point and shooter will result in the same slowness to focus etc that plagues all compacts. This camera is best used as some Leica owners use Leicas - manually preset focus and be ready for instant use. You should also turn off the lcd and the sleep mode and keep the camera ready to shoot. For this the viewfinder is required. A little expensive but it gets the job done.

essential
28 Aug 2008
Too often I find viewfinders that are unsympathetic to spectacle wearers, not being able to see the full view/field. Having bought without trying it was a relief to find that yes it is useable with specs, and the whole frame is visible. It would be a little easier to use if it wasn't so tiny though, and the topof the optional; lens hood intrudes into the bottom of the frame/view. 4 stars from me, as I feel if it was larger, and higher off the top plate it would be even better. Still essntial, though the voightlander 28mm viewfinder may just be that extra star better.
