Default Angle Finder for Canon 1D Mark II

I use the older "B" model (no magnifier). It works well, and can be adjusted
for your vision. It will fit (with the right adaptor) every EOS camera and,
I'm told, some older models too.

I've read a good bit about bird photography from Arthur Morris's
excellent Birds as Art web site and one of the things that interested
me was the desirability of getting the camera close to the ground for
a more intimate perspective. But, having tried to do that I find it a
real pain in the neck to attempt to look through the cameras view
finder when it's that close to the ground. So, I wonder if the "Canon
Angle Finder C" could be attached to the 1D Mark II and if anyone has
done something like this...


Thanks,

Brian

I am not familiar with any of the angle finders as I've never used or
even seen any of them, but I did not see any reference to the "B"
model on the B & H website. The "C" model was listed for, as I
recall, about $130 US. I don't exactly want to plunk down that much
money for a seldom used item unless I can verify it's adaptability to
the 1D Mark II and 1DS Mark II.

I wonder is there a way to direct this question to Canon and if so
what would the contact number/URL be?


Thanks,

Brian
