 Useful but flimsy July 19, 2008
I wish this product was well-made. It is very useful for viewing images on my D300 even in glaring sunlight, but within an hour of receiving the product, it fell lightly on the floor and lenses and rings were scattered everywhere. I managed to get it all back together, but I got to see how cheap and fragile the little plastic ring is that holds optics in place. I'll use it for as long as it lasts, but I'm not optimistic. If someone would manufacture one of these to take the wear and tear of real shooting, I'd buy it in a minute. When this one goes, I'll do without.
 It Works July 1, 2008
Wear it around your neck and see your shot perfectly, every time & in every light, using any Digital SLR (mine's a Canon 5D). Indispensable!
Poor Quality May 5, 2008

The only reason this item costs over $50 is because there is nothing else! It is made out of cheap plastic. You can carry this item around your neck with another piece of cheap plactic. It does not magnify. It should have cost $20. I gave it 2 stars because there is nothing else that I can buy to see my LCD in the sun. I still can't see well enough to tell if my subjects eyes are closed. At least I can see something. What can you do? Whoever makes a good one will make great money!

I've tried numerous hoods for LCD screens including the folding type (they are a joke!), and even cardboard mailing tubes. All were a waste of time and money.
Then a pro photographer friend let me use his Hoodman Pro Loupe. Finally, a product that works! I can see the LCD screen in broad daylight at high noon! Buy this one!
Bottom line: would I buy another one? Most definately YES!

The Hoodman Loupe was recommended to me by some professional level photographers who all use Digital SLR's and who needed to review their images, often in full daylight. Given that they have SLR's that do not use the LCD for previewing the image, only for reviewing after the image is taken, they found the loupe beneficial. My camera is not an SLR, but I was hoping that it would enhance my ability to use the LCD viewer in daylight.. It works well for two reasons. First, it blocks out the sunlight and the screen is easy to read. Also, I brace the loupe against my glasses which holds the camera stedier than if it was just held out.
The only issue is that the resultant LCD image is not magnified, something I would think Hoodman could have done. A great product otherwise.
