Camera Bellows
fitted on an old Fuji S602Z, but I don't find it much use for critical focussing ? I am simply intrigued to learn what you make of your LCD Hood/Loupe, as it's double the price in the U.K. & therefore quite a lot to lay out on an unknown quantity, so to speak !
Best regards

Richard,
First, I don't manufacture these, I only did a mini review on it. The HoodLoupe, although it uses the word loupe, actually shows the screen is a wide angle mode whese the pisels are not viewable at all. The image is smooth just like you were looking at the LCD screen from 12" away. Here is how the manufacturer explains it "
Hoodloupe adjusts focus just like a binocular eye piece... you turn the eye piece in or out to set for your vision. Minimal magnification is used to eliminate visual pixilation of your image."
I was skeptic as well but then I saw one in Sammy's camera is Southern California. I tried it and was immediately impressed. I purchased one and use it everyday. It's almost better than a new lense.
