Anyone find another loupe (or another solution) for viewing the LCD display in bright sunlight than the Hoodman?? I'm not sure its available yet from Hoodman and it costs $80.
It seems to work well. I use a Nikon D300 and this fits it.

I use a Hoodman loupe and it works well. There are also various sunshade gizmos that stick over your LCD.

I have a very high-tech, technological solution for this. I pull the top of my shirt up over my head and place it over my camera. Best of all, it costs me nothing but my dignity! :biggrin:

Grant,
I'm glad I've never had to witness that. :eek:
I've seen guys use their coats, and leave their shirts down. Try that.

I believe Delkin makes one for various camera models.

thanks for the comments. Right now I use a black cloth but it isn't good enough and doesn't like breezes. I'd use my coat in a pinch, not sure about my shirt though! The Loupe does work well but I'll check out Delkin.
