No ving, it upsets the focal length of the finder. The only thing you can do if one must go that way, is you gotta cut the main tube & make it shorter to compensate.

The best idea is just to buy a 90 deg finder I guess, but I just wanted to try this to see what happened. I'm getting used to it slowly. It can be a pain cos' of the small FOV but if all else fails I just take it off & use it straight thru to quickly locate the object, bang it roughly in the FOV then slip the diagonal back on.
