I use my D300 with a scope in long distance shots requiring manual focus and in macro photography, which also is often manual focus. Being able to block out the ambient light while setting up focus is really key and this eye cup does a good job of that. It gets four stars from me because the installation is a bit of a wrestle. This has an extra little tab the stock eye piece does not. I felt like I was going to break it, when I was installing it and I can only imagine the same feeling if I were to try to remove it - for example to use a right angle viewer, which I also use occasionally. The extra tab keeps it solidly in place, but a sliding tab might have been a better option on a plastic part that has so little room to work to begin with.

I'm using the HoodEye on my Nikon D40 Digital camera and really enjoy how clear and bright everything is in the view finder. No more cupping my left hand around the upper part of the camera and face to see the information displayed in the view finder under bright sun conditions. This is what I ordered, a little expensive but worth every penny. ASIN: B001UGNKQE
Item model number: H-EyeN22S. Really a great option. I am happy with the product and impressed with the quick delivery and packaging. You can be sure I will be ordering more items from Amazon with confidence.

I purchased one of these to use on my D90 and N80. It works great, slips on the camera nicely, but it is a bit difficult to get off. I looked at the bottom edge of the part that attaches to the camera. It has a square edge, and locks securely under the viewfinder. Too securely. I was able to get this off with a small screwdriver to pry it back slightly. Once removed, I took an emery board and filed a slight bevel on the front edge of this square surface. Tried it again, and it is easy to install, and will come off if you want it to, but not if you don't. It is a little stiff rotating it for portrait/landscape, but it works like a champ. One thing to note, you may need to adjust the diopter. I use a -2.0 diopter on the D90 with the DK-21 and I needed to step up to a -3.0 when using the Hoodman. This is due to the fact that your eye is slightly farther back using the Hoodman versus using the DK-21, or nothing at all.
