hey all
I just got one of the HOODMAN Hoodloupe 3.0 3" LCD Screen Loupe
it not 3" it is 1 3/4 x 2 1/4"
I don't know if its any bather then an old Agfa 8x loupe made for viewing 35mm contact sheets! it is +-3 diopter no 8x kind of power so its not a loupe
they show tying it to a Digital Camera & I thought if it was like 2x3 I could tie it to
my CENTURY GRAPHIC that it mite work BUT its not 3"
also they call it HoodLoupe 3.0 well it not a Loupe as it has no x power
they have an adapter "Hood Riser" its To accommondate 4 inch LCD screens
so I emailed them asking what size it is I wont to see if its 4" anywhere !
so as of now I would say don't wast your money
I can use it on my Digital Camera maybe

hey all
now I've had some time to play ! the HOODMAN is a jock
I was trying to find a better way to use my 23 cameras for all of us in the outdoors
I hate having to us a darkcloth as I do most of my work out in HOT Windy Desert like
Condition! so I thought I try the HOODMAN Hoodloupe 3.0 3" LCD Screen Loupe
as it looked good on there websit. BUT my Bronica PRISM FINDER & my DIY
adapter is Much better also too is my NPC 5.5x Loupe Much better then the HOODMAN
I did like the look of the HOODMAN but it just not right for our 23 cameras
to focus any powered loupe (8x)is best. but to compose we need something like the
Calumet reflex viewing hood (cb0220) or there in-line viewing hood (cb0221) so I have
been looking for something that we can us with out to much modifcation to work
