Title: Finder/ Loupe for 5dmk3
Post by: billy on May 15, 2012, 04:00:10 pm

i need to buy a finder/loupe for the 5dmk3's 3.2 inch LCD. My previous hoodman loupe does not cover the entire screen anymore, it was made for a 3 inch LCD. I will be using this as my viewfinder for filming and focusing. Zacuto's Z finder new one is gonna be out in a week but I am worried that its bottom mount will be too thick and not allow me to mount the camera on my current shoulder rig without some weird workarounds. I think I can only add 1/4 inch to the bottom of the camera.

Anyone have any that they are using with success?

Hoodman now offers an extender for larger LCD screens:

I've never used it, but just happened to see it while perusing the web. Might be too tall for you, though.

If you're Hoodman is no longer useful and you're looking to sell, I just lost mine, so........
