Pros: | Small size and 100% of focusing screen is visible. | Cons: | Image is reversed, no diopter adjustment. | | The 67 is the second version of the folding hood. Pros:
The build and finishing are very good.
100% of the focus screen is visible when using this prism.
Small size and weight.
3.8X magnification with a magnifier which can be flipped up so the entire focusing screen is visible. Cons:
Laterally reversed image.
No diopter adjustment.
No eyecup to block stray light outdoors. Summary:
I use this hood mostly indoors when doing macro work with a tripod. The folding hood is very light and folds up nicely when not in use. Outdoors it’s not as good as the rigid hood for blocking stray light. You also see 100% of the focusing screen but the image is reversed. This hood has better magnification than the rigid hood and the magnifier can be flipped up out of the way, which is a nice feature. You will need a separate hand held light meter when using this prism. Price:
The price I paid is for a boxed new hood with case.
