I use a tech camera for backpack / hiking field work (landscape) and so far I have not use any lens shade. When I have needed it I have hand-held some object to shade the lens. My hand-holding skill is however a bit limited and I often end up with images that have the shading object in the frame.
There seems to be two general options, either a flag on a flexible arm, or a compendium. The compendium seems superior in the way that it can shade reflections from the ground and walls etc too. However, most (all?) compendiums seems to be big and bulky hard to carry, and I would guess that the cases when a flag is not really enough are really really rare.
But then to find a good portable flexible arm + flag does not seem to be that easy. Many of them seem rather bulky, and unnecessary long and heavy arms. Something that fits into the hot shoe I think should be enough.
"Flare buster" seems to be an option but hard to get in Europe and have that large ugly logotype with silly name which does not look good together with my Linhof Techno . Another option is the Ebony lens shade. Is there more of these lighter/smaller types?
