Mononchrome and "Zebras" in view finder?

[PentUp]

I keep reading in other fora how critical it is to be able to see the "Zebra" in your view finder, and that also sometimes zebras dont help with B&W photography... I dunno? I'm just an amature with a mere optical view finder ... but I do sometimes see Zebras in my OVF... so maybe they are not only viewable in EVFs... ?? Who knew? Anyway, having a Zebra and friends in the OFV didn't seem to hinder the photographer or his ability to convert to B&W

Nice work here! The togetherness among animals is something to admire.

That's clearly the *best* way to see zebras in a viewfinder.

Say, any chance you can post the color version?
I enjoy torturing myself trying to decide if I prefer mono or color. Almost a 50 year debate. Hopeless. Still.....

Ooooh. The eye and bill of the Red Bill... Yeah. Color. For sure. I think.....

I guess in your case, seeing zebras in your viewfinder is an essential feature that no camera should be without.

I agree, it was all just a bit of a lark... but actual zebras in B&W do turn out well ... I will try to dig up some for converion (when the mood strikes me)
In the meantime ...
