Thanks,

I have trifocals and thinking of strategies other than the diopter on the view finder.

I use the Hoodman Loupe frequently. It’s one of my favorite accessories. It’s fabulous for reviewing images, especially on a bright, sunny day.

I use the Collapsible Hoodman (not sure they still make it). Smaller than the regular. Critical for bright light if you need to see the LCD. Adjustable, so I can use it without my glasses.

I’ve used cheaper loupes. Some are too large. Some are colored plastic that have a color cast so not good for reviewing images.

The attachments to keep it mounted are too expensive and too fiddley. I have some DIY mounts for some cameras.

If you have an articulating screen, there is a neoprene strap that will hold it on.
