[edit] Paper Viewfinder

Paper Viewfinder

Probably the cheapest and simplest solution for a viewfinder for the XO, requires only one 6 cm x 4 cm piece of paper and a piece of adhesive tape. Has the additional advantage that it can be left on the XO, folding down for storage.

How to make the Paper Viewfinder.
