Evaluation: 
Conclusion: nice accessory
Review: This is a welcome accessory for most photographers. It eliminates using the LCD screen, saves battery life, and in general makes things much faster. Just point and shoot. If I ever get the close up lens attachment I will need to use the screen, but not until.

Conclusion: sigma VF-11 viewfinder for DP1
Review: A little 28 mm fixed jewel that is very bright and crystal clear.
I'm very happy with this addition for the Sigma DP1 camera.
Evaluation: 
Conclusion: essential
Review: Too often I find viewfinders that are unsympathetic to spectacle wearers, not being able to see the full view/field. Having bought without trying it was a relief to find that yes it is useable with specs, and the whole frame is visible. It would be a little easier to use if it wasn't so tiny though, and the topof the optional; lens hood intrudes into the bottom of the frame/view. 4 stars from me, as I feel if it was larger, and higher off the top plate it would be even better. Still essntial, though the voightlander 28mm viewfinder may just be that extra star better.

Conclusion: A must for the DP1
Review: Unlike point and shoot compacts such as Canon etc offerings, the DP1 is designed for photographers. Trying to use the DP1 as a point and shooter will result in the same slowness to focus etc that plagues all compacts. This camera is best used as some Leica owners use Leicas - manually preset focus and be ready for instant use. You should also turn off the lcd and the sleep mode and keep the camera ready to shoot. For this the viewfinder is required. A little expensive but it gets the job done.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Get the External Viewfinder for your DP-1
Review: Forget about the review that thinks this is overpriced, I think it is a valuable addition to the DP-1 and if you've ever bought pro quality accessories for a Nikon, Leica, etc., this is a bargain.
The quality is very good, it is compact, fits perfectly on the camera -- in short it looks like it belongs there. If you are serious about street or action shooting, you need this accessory.
