Has anyone use this Hoodman loupe on their K-3 display yet? Hoodman assures me this will fit, but wanted to see if any forum members have tried it.

The Varavon Multi-finder allows you to view the shielded LCD from above, albeit with a reversed and upside-down image. I haven't tried one, as yet, but the concept is interesting and it's a bit more versatile than the straight loupe, as a result.

The simplicity of the Hoodman is the main appeal I believe. These other products are cumbersome and time consuming to employ unless you desire full time use. But there has to be a better, simple product other than Hoodman.
