I don't have any waistlevel finders, but when doing scenics
off the tripod I generally line up the framing w/ the prism
and then remove it and use the full screen to check what I
actually have framed. Adjust a tad here or there. Wait around
for the optimal wave break/cloud pattern/whatever before tripping
the shutter. Nice big view, but I gotta take off my glasses :^)
