I have a beautiful mirror contraption that costs a few dollars, glues on the back of my SLR, and gives me a waist-level view of the liveview image. Which, incidentally can be very precisely focused, with 1:1 pixel view of what the sensor sees (no focus screen focus errors). You may find acquiring one of these useful.
In several ways that's more
functional than an optical WLF. 1:1 focusing, and also the image you're focusing on can be boosted (e.g. ISO6400) so that even very dim subjects are bright enough to focus on.
BUT the visual beauty, hard to describe joy, and tactile nature of the very 3D image presented in an RZ67 WLF can not be emulated by putting a mirror to an LCD.
Sometimes technology aids the process but takes away some of the fun.
All a matter of taste of course. To each his own.
