Hoodman lupe (Page 2): That's the only reason you use that? Its a lot easier to delete images while downloading (you see them on the computer and you can delete in batches)!

No. I delete both ways-- but I don't have trouble with deleting before downloading. I do a fair amount of field macro and I don't typically download quickly. It's easy (for me) to pick the best two or three of the same subject in the field. The reason to delete is often something else: Composition, bug flew away, etc. just my style....

Does anyone use this? And should you buy the strap to hold it on the camera or do you hold it on yourself.Thanks

I hand hold mine and let in dangle around my neck, their is a kit available that will attach it to the back of the camera but that is too cumbersome for me. I use it when I take 30 sec. exposures with my ND filters, I want to make sure everything is as it should be in the final image. The hoodman allows me to do this. Make sure you order one designed for your camera model.

My main use of the Hoodman Loupe is when I'm doing architectural / real estate photography using live view on one of my DSLRs to focus precisely and to review images. I can see it also being used for landscape photography. Under certain circumstances like bright sun and light reflections on the LCD, the Hoodman Loupe really helps A LOT. The magnification - both on DSLR LCD and on the Hoodman helps with old eyes too.

The strap is a neck strap. Very handy for me.

I do not need the Hoodman Loupe when using Sony A7RII or A9 since the viewfinder pretty much eliminates the need for it.

I saw a pro at an event using something like this. Of course, the LCD has to be turned on to use it. It seemed like a good idea, so I got one (I forget the brand). I didn't like it at all, so I returned it.

I have one and it is a pain to try to hold the loupe tightly against the glass, hold the camera and support the camera under the lens. I used it one time now it just sits on my shelf.

I have one and only used it once. It is difficult to hold the camera and support the camera with your other hand and hold the loupe tightly against the LCD. In Live View it would probably work better otherwise, either the LCD turns off to quick, or you have to set the LCD to stay on longer. I saw the bracket at B&H to hold the loupe against the LCD but it was $169.00 plus looks awkward. Mine sits on the shelf.

best tool ever for viewing you images in the field quickly. I am a sports shooter and never go to a shoot with out mine. Mine just hangs from my neck, sometimes a will just carry it in the little case that comes with it, on my belt.

I have it with strap but I made very simple detail, which helps me to attach loupe to my cameras. This loupe is very good for using in sunny days for viewing my shots and especially for taking pictures in live view mode.

The strap does the job just fine for me and the loop can be taken off quickly when not needed.

I have the one with a spring loaded strap that attaches to a belt loop. Just pull on it look at the LCD and nest right back to your belt loop when you let go.

There's two ways to use one. One is you use one with a lanyard on it and keep it around your neck and just hold it against the camera when you want to chimp (view the screen) and the other has a mounting system that allows it to stay attached to the back of the camera usually with an elastic band system. You use this for mostly video so that you can see the LCD in bright outdoor conditions where it's difficult to see the LCD. Using it this way depletes your batteries power much faster so be warned.
