Hi everyone, I was looking for a lcd magnifier for my k-x. Is there anything like this one : Amazon.com: Flashpoint LCD Foldaway Viewfinder 3X magnification: Camera & Photo . The thing is that one for 3" lcd and k-x is 2.7"

If you really want one, you can try this:
Cambo CS-30 HDSLR Viewing Loupe 3 (Universal) 99211130 B&H Photo

Since the K-x is a DSLR, though, I'd recommend getting this instead:

thanks for your reply. Cuz im planning to shoot some movies so i think I have to use the lcd. So is the one on BH is the only option available right now? Is there anything about 100 or so?

baby007 · 05-02-2012, 03:28 PM

One more question, can I just use the one for 3" on the k-x?

Probably, but likely not without problems and/or making some sort of adaption. Did you read the reviews?

Check eBay with search "dslr screen magnifier", prices around 20 usd. Most seem to be for a 3 inch screen and some spesific models. There are also models with a frame that attaches to the screen with a sticker and the hood/magnifier attaches to the frame with magnet. I have no experience in any of these.

Just a follow up for anyone looking for a hood like me, so I decided to gamble and buy that Flashpoint / Perfect LCD viewfinder and it fit the kx. Its not perfect but acceptable.

Forgot to say, the image from a magnified kx LCD is not pleasant due to low screen resolution
