Thought it was previous firmware sitting as default not the latest that was updated.

Victor get into live view than tap to 100 percent and you can work that way also. Even on the DF I can see the change on the LCD as I focused it. Kind of cool.I am just initially into this but so far I find that for focus there just isn't enough detail. I repeat..... I'm just initially into this. BUT, it really is cool for composition. Finally I can get the camera into the right position using live view. I know that Guy would like to get rid of any extra stuff but a Disto and HPF rings are killer accurate!!.... and FAST!! More to come....

Damn old eyes. I just looked through my old Hoodman loupe and I think it makes things look smaller....The Hoodman loupe isn't a magnifier, but just a means to exclude light.
wow ... you're right. no wonder it sucks! Always thought it was a magnifier and never could figure out why it was kinda worthless ... all the optics do is allow you to focus close up.The Hoodman loupe isn't a magnifier, but just a means to exclude light. It has a plus or minus three diopter adjustment, but no magnification. There's a 3x magnifying eyecup that can be attached: http://hoodmanusa.com/products.asp?dept=1017
To elaborate....the shutter needs to be open. On your view camera just open the shutter as if you are focusing on the ground glass. On the DF use bulb to hold it open. A cable release with lock is helpful if you want both hands free to focus and move around the image.Need to press the movie icon than set on bulb and hold release down to open the shutter
I tried the Hoodman for 5 minutes and packed it up and sent it back. There is a night and day difference between a Schneider 6X7 and any hoodman - even with the addition of their 3X magnifier.The Hoodman loupe isn't a magnifier, but just a means to exclude light.
