MDX-40D

for Canon EOS 40D/50D

Product NO. 06133

Features

Compatible with both the VF180 and VF45 1.2x viewfinders

By attachment of a 45° viewfinder (view magnification of 1.2x) with Amici prisms to the By attaching the VF180 1.2x or the VF45 1.2x prism viewfinder (magnification ratio of 1.2x) to a SEA&SEA housing, the magnification increases by 1.2x and entire field of view can be seen at the same time. Recommended for users committed to strict composition and focusing.
* Factory modification is required to install the viewfinder. Contact an official SEA&SEA dealer or distributor.

Manual adjustment is possible without releasing the grips

Designed for easy operation so you can comfortably reach the main dial and quick control dial with your fingers, while keeping your hands on the grips. Delicate operations are possible even while you are looking through the viewfinder. The larger diameter of frequently-used dials allows you to change the shutter speed or aperture value with a light touch while supporting the framing. This frees you, the photographer, to concentrate only on the perfect chance for a great picture.

TTL converter connector employed as standard

The included 6-pin wired connector accepts the optional YS Converter/C. The converter works with the YS-Series strobes to provide automatic TTL flash adjustment.

*The converter requires the Sync Cord/N for connecting to a strobe.
*The MDX-40D housing comes from the factory with these bulkhead connectors: one type-N (2-pin wired) connector and one 6-pin (6-pin wired) connector.
*To use two SEA&SEA YS-Series strobes with the factory-equipped bulkhead connectors, you must use the 5-pin Dual Sync Cord/N.
