Hi Dave,
I use a Hoodman on my K5's LCD screen and it has made a tremendous difference. The Hoodman is very well made and has a dioptre adjustment and the optics are good but their standard method of attaching the loupe to the camera with elastic bands is very primitive and a pain. I see the version you are looking at has what may be a better attachment to the camera.
My eyesight is very bad and I must admit that I'm using the setup more and more, particularly for my MF telephoto lenses. For convenience sake I made a custom quick mount for mine.

Thanks Greg. Looks better as it has dioptre adjustments. That's some smart looking engineering you've done there. We might be asking for a few other mods.

... are they any good. I think I've seen an expensive version that does in fact have dioptre adjustment.
