Solves a problem November 27, 2009 Laurence Upton (Wilts, UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Camera manufacturers seem to have forgotten the usefulness of the viewfinder these days, even on quite pricey models. Perhaps they live in lands where there is permanent shade, unlike the rest of us, who have to experience on-screen blindness due to glare. One solution would be a big black hood that we could throw over our head, like Victorian portrait photographers, but for those that might find that procedure ostentatious or impractical, another option is this nifty pop up shade.
I leave mine permanently attached to the camera, folded flat, as it is quite slim, though the cover can be removed without affecting the adhesive base of the device. I'm on my second as I sat on the first. The hinged part broke, but it had protected the camera itself from damage, so it was a small price to pay.
It can be permanently removed without leaving a trace, which is reassuring. It is a tenth of the price of an add-on viewfinder and often makes a dramatic improvement, though in strong light one can still feel the need for a hood. Overall, though, it is well worth the small investment.
Fits my Sigma DP-series cameras like a glove. November 2, 2009 Manx Shearwater 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was a highly functional addition to my Sigma DP1. I had a little trouble removing the plastic film that was on the window but otherwise it worked great.
I've upgraded to a DP2s and the same Delkin shade works just fine on it, too. I've already had the experience of the shade protecting the screen from a sharp object and am very glad I bought it.
Doesn't work September 6, 2009 Willadean B. Nevison (Sacramento, CA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have tried the Delkin and another totally different style shade and nothing works with my viewer. The viewer has a glossy surface and out in the sunlight all I can see is a reflection of myself.
Any ideas???
Delkin 2.5 LCD pop-up shade August 30, 2009 Craig E. Martin (Roanoke , Va.) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Nice little gadget,a bit flimsy but if caution is used it should work fine. not bad for the price.
works as advertised May 17, 2009 El Oso (CO) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Other reviews panned the product for being flimsy and of low quality.
Although it is not built for rough use it seems satisfactory for me because I wouldn't abuse a camera anyway.
