That would be wonderful on a very bright day. Any links as to where you purchased this? I'd love to check it out?

Thanks...

Hallo Bernd,

I actually bought 2 last year for the X-S1 and X-A1. At that time they were offering 4:3 and 3:2 side ratios. Apparently the 3:2 (fitting the wider LCD screen of the X-A1) is out of stock. Here's the link for the 4:3 LCD hood:

Another possibility which I use on my X-100 and X-T1 are the LCD hoods from JJC. These are also mounted on a frame stuck on the LCD screen and are also detachable. The difference to the ones above is the fact that the JJC frames are collapsible (foldable) and function as a screen protection which comes in handy since the LCD screen doesn't become greasy when I'm using the viewfinder only. Here's the link:

That JJC hood is actually a copy of the one manufactured by Delkin.  I've had the Delkin on my Pentax K-01 for a couple years now.
