EVF versus OVF

There are countless debates on the technological advantages of the electronic viewfinder over the optical, so I’m not here to extend such conversation. Who am I to talk about the intricacies of specs anyways?

But while I also find the EVF an inevitable evolution of camera tech, I think the OVF is still worthwhile in the current landscape of photography.

I’ve been switching back and forth from mirrorless cameras to DSLRs, and vice versa. All the times I’ve convinced myself that it was the speed of operation and reliability of a SLR that was forcing me to keep shooting one. But now I think I had it all wrong.

You see, it’s just a different experience shooting through an EVF in comparison to an OVF. At least for me.
