Hoodman for EPM2 - sunny day focusing, composing...

Well it is kinda ugly I think, a stopgap measure for sure:

Hoodman on epm2 helps with manual focusing

After you get to know it the EPM2 is a  nice camera, nice images when you do your part. My problem was seeing the lcd in daylight conditions. It was really putting a crimp in my fun. So I found my old Hoodman loupe which I used for video on an older DSLR and strapped it to the Oly. Problem solved. At least for now. Can't use the touchscreen, but that's ok with me - the menu buttons are still reachable.

cheers and beers,

Joe

I bought a VF-3 for mine. $99 from BH. It's not as good as the screen in terms of colour and contrast, but it's nice and portable.

EVF too, helps for sunny day focusing, composing the shot, using manual focus... and it is not that obtrusive.
