Re: Share your inexpensive accessories - Viewfinder sun shade

This one's "official"; blue painters tape works, too.

Good one ... never thought it could be that simple, very clever idea, will definitely try it ... thanks for sharing.

I think this is a very good idea for any camera that does not have a tilt/flip LCD screen and Surapon as usual is the master of coming up with such gadgetry ... here is a link to his thread on how he did it:

You should go into business and sell those. Designer colours, etc.

On the same subject, one of the CR members (pdirestajr) shared this Flipbac Angle Viewfinder ... its a neat little tool for those who don't have a flip screen and would like to have one for under $15.

Black hair elastics. I double-looped one around my gorillapod and put a cheap carabiner on it. Now when I head out with the little camera, I can clip the little tripod on my bag, or the diaper bag, or even a belt loop if I really want to look crazy. They also can be looped or threaded around straps in various fashions to keep them from flopping around. I saw that somebody was using them to fix a light leak at a lens mount on some other camera recently (not Canon).

It's a nice workaround if you need a flip screen, but those reflections are very obviously fake

Agreed. If I recall correctly... the angle of inflection is equal to the angle of deflection.

So I picked up the tripod ring for the 100mm L. I like it... feels solid... great value at $15... I initially installed it like I do for my 70-200 f/2.8L is mkii... but it was really off balance. So I reversed it so the foot faces towards me... and now it is balanced better. I don't have any immediately plans to do some tripod work... but I am looking forward to it.

You guys are wrong ... this fliback angle viewfinder can defy the lawas of physics for just $15 ;D

EDIT: Before someone thinks its true : or starts blasting me for leading people astray, let me clarify that this flipback angle viewfinder reflects a flipped view of the image of the EOS-M's LCD screen.
