Third party angle finder

Hello,
Has anyone in this forum used 3rd party angle finders as opposed to the Canon angle finder C? The cost for the Canon angle finder is very expensive compared to a 3rd party finder. The only ones I have come across have been from China which makes me skeptical of the quality. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Yeah, I have a right angle finder by Seagull, 1.0x mangnification only, it works fine although I seldom have had use for it. (Same story about right angle finder for my Olympus OM kit...seldom used the thing!)
Other brands offer switchable 1x/2x or 1x/2.5x magnfication to aid in focusing, prices vary from about $32 - 70 via Amazon

Thank you Wilt for your response. I thought it would make some macro shots and others easier for me. The cost of the Canon angle finder is 4-5 times the cost of 3rd party angle finders which prompted this post. I use a Canon 1Ds mk2 for my camera and I wanted to get a reasonable angle finder both in quality and price to use with it. Thank you.

Thank you John for your post. I understand that some of the angle finders reverse the image from left to right, that would be a PITA! Perhaps not all do that but Canon apparently does not.
