Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how to make a viewing card? I have 2 cameras- one is a Nikon FF and one is a Sigma APS-C.
Thanks.

Get a fairly stiff board of some type. I use regular, ordinary 4 ply mat board. Cut it to a size that you'll easily carry in your camera bag. It doesn't really matter how large it is. Mine is about 5x7. Cut out a rectangular viewing opening in the center with the aspect ratio of 3:2. My viewing opening is about 2.5x3.75. Or whatever you'd prefer. Punch a hole in the corner for a lanyard for around your neck. Done When you've beaten it to death, make another in 5 minutes

Exactly, what I was going to say, Brad, except for two changes. I make my card about 4x6” or 4x5” so they fit into a shirt/coat pocket. The window I cut out matches the aspect ratio of my camera. Most are 3:2, but some are 4:3.
