Straight-through versus right-angle viewingġ.With all that in mind, here are some issues that arise when we consider finders: So I will try to be as clear as possible in this post between the objective facts and my subjective preferences, and I expect to be called out if I get any facts wrong, or get any of those facts and preferences on the wrong side of the line. That’s fine, I can’t tell you that you are wrong. Maybe egg salad and RACI finders just aren’t your cup of tea. Where we often get into trouble is when we (a) mistake preferences for facts, and (b) expect others to fall into line with our preferences. It’s a big world, and there’s room for all kinds of preferences. If you have different preferences, great! You can’t be wrong about them, either.
I can’t be wrong about them, any more than I can be wrong about liking egg salad and long solo drives. If I say that I don’t mind the extra weight and bulk of a magnifying finder, or that I hate crouching to look through a finder, those are my preferences. I may be right or wrong about them, and if I’m wrong, I expect to be corrected. If I say that red-dot finders tend to be smaller and lighter than magnifying finders, or that straight-through and red-dot finders require users to put their heads lower than right-angle finders, those are statements of fact. Right off the bat we need to get something straight, and that is the difference between facts, on one hand, and preferences or opinions on the other.

I wrote a short comment by way of explanation, but I realized that I had a lot to say on this issue, so I’m coming at it again with a full post. IntroĪ commenter on the last post asked why I hated red-dot finders. My Orion 9×50 RACI finder mounted on my son’s XT4.5, at the Salton Sea.
