Re: TG-6 review: Shoot and enjoy

It was the difficulty, sometimes inability, to use the LCD screen in bright sunlight that drove me to the Hoodman Loupe. At the time I was using a predecessor of the TG series, the Olympus 1030SW. It was my first digital camera (still in use) so if I could not see the screen I had no alternative. The Hoodman Loupe definitively ended the problem.

In the interim I have acquired two more 'tough' cameras. Over the years I have also been given several compact travel zoom cameras which have no viewfinders. These are now older, but at the time of production were the top of their lines.   As I previously said, if I do my part, they deliver great images.   Given the quality they can produce,  they see a lot of field use.   The Hoodman Loupe gets used with each of these and I consider it indispensable.

Given the number of cameras on which I use this loupe, and the years I have been using it, it has proven itself to be very useful. The years of extensive field use have also proven it to be very well engineered and constructed.

I recommend it highly.
