Don- Thanks so much for getting everything out so quickly - the hoods arrived by noon, and we had them installed in the next hour. 24-hours from order to installation is pretty good! Thanks for your help. Rachel |

| I just received the LCD Visor V4SL. Installation was a cinch on my Olympus C5050 Digital Camera. I am quite pleased with the simple design and yet sturdy quality of this hood. And the 3x lens is something else! The included LCD cover is a definite plus, not only when storing the camera away but also when choosing to use the optical viewfinder --- especially since on the Olympus C5050, the optical viewfinder is right over the LCD monitor. No more placing my cheek or nose on the LCD monitor: the LCD cover protects it. Thanks Don!!!

| Don, Attached is a shot of the V4F in use on my Olympus C-5050. Outdoor insect macros were a royal pain until I started using the V4F. A great accessory! Regards, Phil |
Hi Don ,
The V4SL hood is without a doubt the best product of it's type I've ever used, and I've used several. It's a perfect fit on my Sony DSC-F828 and makes it that much easier to use. The new solid construction eliminates all glare and gives it a very sturdy feel. I could not compose and take gallery quality pictures without it . Since all my work is in the bright Southern California sun.... this hood is an absolute necessity for me! The new removable 3x view lens is a great idea ...eliminates the need for my reading glasses for certain work. The pouch, lcd microfiber cloth and lcd cover are great extras. Every product should have these two qualities, as yours does...it works great and looks great - end of story! " gerry weintraub www.moodphotos.com

Don,
...... It worked great and even the AD on a commercial job today was impressed with it. It really makes it much easier to see what's in your images on those tiny monitors. Thank you so much. I'll tell my friends about it. Feel free to quote me.

... I bought the Xtend-a-View - which I still have. It seems like a good piece of gear but has two drawbacks (compared to yours):
1) It's twice as heavy as yours (machined aluminum) and the extra weight actually moves the LCD screen out of position on my Olympus C-5050, say when you swivel it up and want to look down on it. Yours doesn't do that.
2) The lens on the Xtend-a-view is permanently mounted and the magnification is quite strong, so in order to use it, you've got to have it up to your eye like the optical viewfinder, thereby negating one of the advantages of the LCD, e.g., to be able to view it from a foot or two away. With yours, the lens is larger so I can see the LCD from about a foot away with the lens on and, of course, the lens can be removed and the device can be used as a simple lens hood.
Overall I really like your product design, and I'll be using yours over the Xtend-a-View. The removable lens is a good idea and the ability to fold flat for storage is also nice. The included LCD cover, lens cleaning cloth and storage bag are nice touches.
Regards and keep up the good work!

Hi Don;
I attached the new hood you provided me and by taking the suggestions you made about cutting the Velcro pieces, I was able to customize them to the outside of the viewfinder window. I appreciate all the "parts" you provided, as it makes it much easier to complete the mounting process having these items on hand.
A very important plus for this optical viewer for me is that the Minolta DiMage 5 camera doesn't have the best viewfinder to verify focus. Your optical hood corrects this as it sharpens up the image on the finder. That in itself is worth obtaining one of these.
If there are any drawbacks to this optical hood, I'm not aware of what they would be. The little pouch you provide protects the hood nicely, and it easily fits into my camera bag. Also, I appreciate the cleaning cloth you provide as that will be a real asset in keeping my lens and viewfinders clean. I'll be happy to "show off" this little accessory to anyone.
Thanks,
Jim

Don,
I am very pleased with the visor. It will take some getting used to carrying it with me, but the vision on the screen is better than any view finder. I have Macular Degeneration, mainly in one eye but somewhat in the other.
On a sunny day, I could not make out an image on the screen no matter what I did. Your visor was a God send and, for the first time, I can now take my camera outside and see what I'm shooting. I have a Nikon Cool Pix 2500 and the visor fits perfectly. Bill - OR -------
Attached is a pic of the 1.8" V4SL on my Fuji FinePix 2600Z. This camera has a 1.8" LCD screen and the V4SL fit nicely on it without obscuring the three controls (display, menu and back) just to the right of the screen.
This shade works well and I am completely satisfied with it.

| Greetings Don, I ordered yesterday and got my V4SL visor today! Thanks for the fast service. The item is just as described in your info on your web site. I had read a review at Steve's Digicam and went to your site to order one. I was pleased that you came out with the new one with the lens. I did not get a chance to take it out in daylight yet, but it is ready to go. It's a great quality for the price. I will let you know how it works for me. I have a Nikon Coolpix 990, and I added a super wide angle lens. Then I found out I need to shoot with the LCD display on, and found out the need to get your visor. Attached are 4 pictures I took of the unit on the Coolpix. I sized them down for e-mail. If you want the full size ones, let me know. Feel free to use them as you see fit for your web site or any other need you might have for them. You need not send another lens cloth. I got two with what came today. I will look over your other items, and highly recommend your product to others. Regards, Jim P |
I got a chance to try out the new V4SL today. What a great LCD shade! I was able to get the pictures that I had intended to when I got that wide angle lens, and found out I could not see the LCD display in daylight.
The V4SL is of great quality materials, easy to put on and take off, and with that lens on there, makes viewing the LCD easy.
Regards,
Jim P
