I use a Hoodman HoodLoupe 3.0, which magnifies the image to check for correct focus as well as proper exposure.

Does this adhere permanently? Have you used it? I have shied away from the hoodman loupe because its one more thing to carry around.

Hi Tom, I use the viewfinder on my camera, or tilt the screen to a better angle. I hold the camera a waist level and look down to the screen which will now be in some shade and be easier to use.
Cheers,
John.

I use my viewfinder evf on my em1. One of the many benefits of a mirrorless camera.

This will make me seem like an idiot but.....
I have "transition" lenses in my glasses. I had gotten so used to them darkening and lightening by themselves that it took a while for it to finally dawn on me that when I was having the most trouble seeing the LCD, my glasses were almost black. DUH
I got a pair with plain lenses and.......much better.
I am ready for the caustic comments :)

Precisely why I cant stand point and shoots which have no optical viewfinder. Those LCDs are impossible to see in the bright sunlight.

My HoodLoupe hangs around my neck, and I can easily place it to my LCD for quick viewing.
An elastic strap is also available to keep HoodLoupe positioned on LCD.

I wear glasses.. I depend on them to see. Bi-focals to add to my deficit. The Hoodman crap is WAY overpriced. Just geta cheap photodiox alternative. For example. If I purchased the Hoodman, view finder shade, I would pay $30. If I bought a Photodiox shade, it would cost me less than $10. They both work the same. It's up to you.

The HoodLoupe is more than a LCD shade. The 3x eyepiece allows photographer to adjustable focus for use on LCD, and magnifies image for precise evaluation of camera focus. I also wear glasses, and find the added magnification quite helpful, with or without glasses.If I purchased the Hoodman, view finder shade, I would pay $30.
