Using the Angle Finder C with an external Flash installed

[Zwiz]

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to use the Angle Finder C while an external flash is mounted. Can you still position your eye on top of the Angle Finder without bumping the flash unit? I've got a normal head size! ;-)

I only have the twin macro flash, this leans forward a bit and so there is plenty of clearance for the angle finder C and getting your head over it. Not sure about the ordinary flashes as I don't have one.

If you are wanting to use the angle finder C I would presume you are probably using either of the macro flashes or have the flash off the hotshoe on a bracket or am I mistaken.

I have just tried to see if it works, while I don't have a canon angle finder, I use a seagull version, you can just about do it your forehead is pressing against the back of the flash and you not quite directly over the finder, but I think it would be workable I can still see all the view finder, on my 5D, mind you I did have my 24mm lens on at the time. Didn't bother digging out my macro.

My flash unit is a 430EX. If there is no clearance, maybe I will have to use a bracket.
