Agreed

I certainly wouldn't recommend it but this was my setup for the transit of Venus, again it was half a pair of solar viewing glasses taped (securely) to some black card with a hole cut in it. I didn't go anywhere near the viewfinder with this setup, in fact I used DSLR controller on my phone so I could focus without putting my head anywhere near it!
