Customer Reviews

IMHO, the real value
I bought one of these years ago for my D70. The part that folds down and the side pieces that fold inward failed immediately; this did not bother me, as opening and closing the unit was a pain. However, the clear plastic cover for the LCD is so much better than the easily-scratched covers from Nikon, that the remains of the unit have served me well for years. This has probably saved me from having to buy half a dozen of the Nikon junkers.

I just ordered a D200 and will probably order one of these covers for it. I don't care if the moving parts fail... in fact, if they don't, I will break them myself.

Eye-glass wearers BEWARE!
Before I replaced my Nikon D70 I used the D70 version of this and loved it. In spite of it being fragile, I appreciated two benefits: 1) It allowed better LCD viewing in sunny conditions. 2) It kept my breath from fogging the LCD as I studied the viewfinder image. It is the second of these that I most appreciated, and even though the unit was fragile, each time it broke I bought another.

So, when I upgraded to a D200 I wanted the Delkin protector that fit my new camera. I even bought two so I would have a backup. What a surprise when a week later I began to experience clouded vision in my left eye. It didn't take long to realize that the design of the protector and D200 place the edge higher up. The result is that each time I looked through the viewfinder, the left lens of my glasses bumped the corner of the protector. I've now spent $100+ to replace the left lens of my glasses, and I have two of these sitting unusued in storage.

Beware this product if you use eye-glasses.

Be warned
Excellent product if all you plan to do is: 1) compose your digital photos via the viewing screen, or 2) Review your shots in bright sunlight.

For me, however, found very awkward. if you plan to use the "old fashion" eye level view finder then not very useful. Gets in the way of using the eye level view finder. Have to use both hands to fold down the pop-up shade. Maybe if it offered one-handed folding capabilities would be much better. Good concept, just awkward.
