Product Description
The INON Finder Window Unit for X-2 is a simple and economical interchangeable finder option for compatible INON X-2 underwater housings. It uses a single waterproof window made from optical glass, allowing the photographer to access the camera’s original viewfinder through the housing.
Unlike INON’s magnifying or extended-eye-point finder units, the Finder Window Unit does not provide additional optical correction or extend the camera’s eye point. Because of this, only the center portion of the camera’s viewfinder may be visible while wearing a dive mask. Its lightweight, straightforward design makes it a practical choice for users who need basic viewfinder access without the added size or cost of a specialized finder.

FAQ
What does the Finder Window Unit do?
It provides a waterproof optical window through which the camera’s original viewfinder can be accessed from outside the X-2 housing.
Does it magnify the viewfinder image?
No. It does not provide magnification, image reduction, or eye-point extension.
Can I see the entire viewfinder while wearing a dive mask?
Usually not. Because the unit does not extend the eye point, INON states that only the center portion of the camera’s finder is visible through a dive mask.
How is it different from the Pick-up Finder Unit 2?
The Finder Window Unit is a basic optical window. The Pick-up Finder Unit 2 extends the eye point and reduces the image to 0.75× to help make more of the composition visible through a mask.
Are the installation tool and fixing ring included?
No. The Lock Ring Tool for X-2 Housing and Finder Unit Fixing Screw Ring are sold separately when needed.
Is this product discontinued?
Yes. INON lists the Finder Window Unit for X-2 within its discontinued housing accessories.
