Steven Collins on LCDVF vs Z-Finder
""Trying to achieve focus by looking at 1,000,000 tiny dots on a 3” LCD monitor from 18” away is nearly impossible for me. Several people learned to adapt the Hoodman Hoodloop to the rear of their V-DSLRs with various mounting methods. It wasn’t long before companies jumped in with specifically designed LCD view finders to aid the videographer achieve critical focus. I’ll conclude this review by saying both systems presented here are head and shoulders above the results you’ll get by trying to focus without an optical aide.
To make things worse, with a V-DSLR we have the luxury of taking advantage of Canon and Nikon’s availability of fast primes that give you an extremely shallow depth of field. Working with such a shallow DOF means that focus is even more critical.
Some type of a viewing system is critical for using a video DSLR. For me I’m going to be keeping the LCDVF. Both products are remarkably good in aiding you shoot video, but in the end money has to be a consideration and at $159, the LCDVF offers everything the Z-Finder does, with the exception of a diopter, for 60% less.""

Quotes from happy customers
""I received my LCDVF yesterday and LOVE it! Tried the Hoodman and it sucked. The LCDVF is much better...more comfortable, better focus control, and better design. The magnets work very well and holds without concern.
If you are wondering what to buy and can't afford the Z-Finder, the LCDVF is a no-brainer!""

""It makes a world of difference for reviewing material on camera too. BTW, the placement of the frame has to be spot on, there is not much margin for error. I applied the frame while looking through the viewfinder. I then very very slowly moved the frame towards the correct location. Worked great.""

""The magnet system works extremely well, I love how it finds the placement just when you let loose near it. The 3M adhesive cured over night on the 7D and will be shooting all week with it.
Looking at it in detail I can see that a lot of work went into this product, I congratulate you for creating something so cool so quickly and mostly on your own, the stability it provides on shorter lenses is essential, it makes using support a thing of the past for a lot of shots.
+2 and +1 left and right eyes, it works great and I'm able to focus much better than before. Sharp image, It feels like you are in your own private cinema screen. Thanks again for making this essential rightly priced product!""
