Doug F sent us an email showing his NEX-5 viewfinder. It's reminiscent of the Hasselblad Waist Level Finder where you focus using the lcd surrounded by a hood and if needed you can flip up a magnifier.
The components to make this viewfinder are a hacked clearviewer, the magnifying element, and a Sony NEX LCD hood. The whole unit folds up neatly and doesn't add bulk to the svelt NEX body.
If you're using manual focus lenses, shooting should be a bit faster since you don't have to magnify the image 7x or 14x.
The Doug F viewfinder is also easily detachable from the NEX-5 since it is only mounted using the LCD hood connections.

Thanks Doug F!
