 Hoodman loupe for LCD screens on digital cameras -- Finally! September 17, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Bright sunlight can be a problem when reveiwing your digital image on the LCD screen of your camera. Hoodman's Loupe solves the problem for Canon and Nikon users. The loupe comes with a cord to wear around your neck, and a carrying case to keep it from getting scratched. This is a long overdue, much needed product. All I can say is thank you Hoodman!

How can you name something a "loupe" if it does not magnify? Oh, and what good is it? IF you're going to tell me the idea is to block out sunlight, it doesn't even do THAT. The edge of the Hood"loupe" isn't soft enough to form a gasket to block out light.
It is possible that there's are cameras out there that this hood MIGHT fit to "seal" around the edges and block light, but not even close on my Nikon D70. And, if all you want to do is block out light, SAVE YOUR $60+ and look at your LCD through a TOILET PAPER TUBE for FREE.
Or better yet, buy a real loupe (look the word up in the dictionary, it refers to a device to MAGNIFY) for a fraction of the outrageous cost of the Hoodman, put black electrical tape around the "hood" of the loupe (leaving a soft edge to gasket against the camera and block light, and get what this gimmick item infers in it's advertising, but does NOT deliver.
If there were a choice for zero or FEWER (negative) stars, I'd choose that.

This works great on my Sony camcorder that does not have a viewfinder and was impossible to use in bright sunlight with just an LCD screen. A couple of strips of velcro and I can now film radio control jets in sunlight without any problem. It is just a shame that Sony do not make one designed for their products. Or thought twice before they took the viewfinder off.
I can see!!! May 18, 2007

Hey:
I live in Florida "The Sunshine State" I am using a Canon 30D to do landscape photography. I wear glasses and set the Diopter adjustment of my camera so that I can see when taking the shot. In the sun I could not see the LCD on my camera at all. I need to see the shot after I take it to adjust in the field. This is a great product; you can adjust the Diopter on the Loup and can see everything. It does have soft rubber at each end but the mid-section is hard plastic, so I can see why when Richard dropped his it shattered. Since I am going to look like a GEEK walking around with this around my neck anyhow I am going to put me a ring of foam rubber around each end so if I do drop it might give it a little cushion. Great product.

The Hoodman does the job it is supposed to. It allows you to clearly view a camera LCD in sunlight. Don't expect magnification, it does not do that. As it is not physically connected to the camera, it is possible for it to fall to the ground. Mine did, and it exploded into many glass lenses and retaining rings. Despite its externally robust appearance, the optics are held together by something made to look like an American made screw-in retaining ring, but it is in fact, a woefully inadequate thin piece of plastic junk. It pops in and out with the slightest pressure. Seeing your camera LCD when the sun is shining s a good thing, and the Hoodman is about the only product currently available that will allow you to do that- just don't let the Hoodman fall to the ground!
