And actually sticking an honest to God optical viewfinder up to your eye and looking out the lens offers a kind of immersion in the photo-taking experience which nothing else can get close to.
I feel guilty for writing this since screens are bad for the environment and if we wanna go low-tech/sust-tech maybe we can’t have as many screens as we used to, but,
when I am taking a photo I am trying to create an image.
A screen lets me see a preview of that image.
I take waaaay better photos now than I did in the viewfinder days.
Using a viewfinder properly is a difficult skill. A skill I now don’t have to learn.
