4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive, but does the job well May 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I had seen these in the photography magazines, and they looked like a good idea, so I finally ordered a Hoodman H-LPP3 HoodLoupe 3.0 Professional 3-Inch Screen Loupe about a week ago. The price felt high, and they never really go on sale too much (I've been watching them for a few months). The Loupe is well made, has a good quality feel to it, it is not too heavy, and the rubber is soft enough that I'm not worried about it scratching my cameras' glass LCD panels. The case that comes with it is constructed nicely, though the Loupe and the neck strap fit into it a bit tightly (a slightly larger case would be an improvment, but then it would take up more in your camera bag). The case also has a belt clip on it.

I wear glasses and when I really want to see if the shot worked out well in the field, especially with any sun light, it's always been a challenge for me. This Loupe does the trick. I can adjust it perfectly for my "good eye" and I can see the screen so well that I can even see the pixels on my Canon 30D and my Canon 40's screens.

Had the price been less, I would have given this 5 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works but inconvenient to use June 26, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
The Loupe 3.0 is a non-magnified LCD loupe designed initially to help you inspect the detail of your images, especially in bright sunlight. It does do its job in that department. They are also marketing this as a viewfinder for DSLR's that record video. Since these camera's use LiveView mode, it's not easy to determine sharp focus while recording is taking place. Attach the Loupe 3.0 with the optional $20 rubber bands and this becomes an ad-hoc viewfinder. For this purpose it actually works, but it then becomes a pain to keep removing it every time you want to go back to the optical TTL viewfinder for taking pictures. The rubber bands that are optional should be thrown in for free as they're RUBBER BANDS and Hoodman should come up with a better solution for the $20 - like a pivoting attachment that would pivot the Loupe 3.0 down to allow the camera to be put back up to the eye when not shooting video.

The Loupe 3.0 is also a bit overpriced, but I do understand that it's a specialty product so I understand the laws of supply and demand. But $20 for the optional rubber bands? Come on Hoodman.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hoodloupe 3 March 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I was skeptical at how useful this product would be. I was pleasantly surprised, when outdoors I now can see what I was missing. The built in magnifier really helps to review my composition without my glasses. The only downside is that it is physically larger than my screen on my D200 and sometimes you can hit one of the buttons along the left edge of the monitor while reviewing the image. Careful placement on the back of the camera can eliminate this problem.

Perfect view on sunny days when trying to view the images you have captured. Sometimes closing your hand to take a peek at your view finder is not clear enough. Read more
