40D LCD viewing

[xspringer]

I've seen some pros have a small LCD attachment for viewing photos in bright light it looks like and accordion. Does anyone know what these are cold and where I can get one for my 40D?

Thanks

They are called the Hoodman HoodmanLoupe, around $70.00. I just ordered one last night

Are there other less expensive version maybe without the glass they's cost less.

Get some black cardboard and make your own, maybe. It's not something I've seen a whole lot of use for; a hat brim and turning my back to the sun is usually sufficient, and anything (besides my reading glasses) that I'm going to have to drop and pick up whenever I need to check my LCD just isn't going into my gear collection.
