The Hoodman loupe for 3" LCD screen.
http://www.hoodmanusa.com/products.asp?dept=1017
I can see far very well but I cannot see close up. I wear reading glasses. So I have a hard time manual focusing my Sony NEX with alternate lenses. I have all the adapters for Leica M, Contax G, Canon FD, Nikon, Canon EOS lenses. Unfortunately when I go outdoor I simply cannot see the LCD clear enough to manual focus. Even with magnified to 14X. So I bought all kind of gadgets to look at the screen better. I could manual focus very well with my Panasonic G1 because I can look through the view finder.
So I am waiting for Sony to come out with the add on EVF.
In the meantime I saw the hoodman loupe and that is exactly something I was trying to make myself. For $80 I think I can afford the extra clunkiness on the NEX. If I want compactness I can always just use the AF lenses.
