As a Canon shooter I would not be without one as small flashing highlights are hard to see in daylight. My first one fell in the path of a lawnmower and I was so accustomed to it I replaced it immediately.

Comments about Hoodman Hoodman Professional LCD Screen Loupe for Canon & Nikon:

After trying out a friend's Hoodman at a recent outdoor photo shoot, I had to get one of my own. Now, I won't leave home without it. It gives you an amazingly bright and clean view of your LCD screen regardless of the conditions you are in. It's lightweight and comes with it's own lanyard so it's easy to wear it around your neck while you're shooting and have it readily accessible.

Comments about Hoodman Hoodman Professional LCD Screen Loupe for Canon & Nikon:

I purchased this product so I could view my cameras LCD screen outdoors to help me make adjustments for lighting conditions while taking photos outdooors.The product is a great help as it can be very difficult to see how your photos are turning out because of glare. I thought the product might be bulky and cumbersome to have with me but it is not and does come with a carrying case or can be worn around neck.

Comments about Hoodman Hoodman Professional LCD Screen Loupe for Canon & Nikon:

You can actually view your pictures in bright sunlight. You do however still see a small bright circle in the middle of your LCD. I guess it is because I am wearing glasses and I can't get any closer. I don't always like wearing it around my neck but the truth is it works pretty well that way.

Barrell distortion

Comments about Hoodman Hoodman Professional LCD Screen Loupe for Canon & Nikon:

Barrell distortion. Just a little. Use it to check exposure. It also pushs the LCD size back which makes the screen smaller than 1:1

Nice idea

By Rick from Charleston, WV on 12/9/2006

Pros:

Covers large screen

Cons:

Barrell distortion

Comments about Hoodman Hoodman Professional LCD Screen Loupe for Canon & Nikon:

I was using the Digifinder on my older camera with smaller screen and it was great. My newer Nikon D200 has a larger screen so I'm looking for a device like this that covers the larger screen. The Hoodman covers the screen but it has nasty barrel distortion. For [...] dollars I'd have expected better optics!
