Hi Jack,
Surfed over to the Adorama site. Below is how one guy rated it. Still goes
to show "you get what you pay for". I still wonder if the "hoodman" and the
Canon "C" are the same. The Canon is $50 more. That could amount to $10 per
letter to have the "C-A-N-O-N" name screened on it. Don't know, but I do
note that the Canon stated it's 1.25x / 2.5x and the Hoodman spec is 1x /
2.5x. Anyone have either of these and can advise??

BTW - This PC doesn't have spell check so I'm invoking the "if the first
letter is right it's spelled right" rule. Thoght I did catch and finally
correct the subject line from DLSR to DSLR

Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Pros:
Easy To Use, Inexpensive
Cons:
Distorted Image, Wobbly Fit
Best Uses:
Low angle photography
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I was able to compare this product with a friend's Hoodman HRAV on my Nikon
D70 and found the adaptors to be much cheaper (plastic instead of metal) and
the fit to be less stable (wobbly). There was also considerable optical
distortion except in the center third of the image with the 1X
magnification. This Adorama Pro Optic product is less expensive than the
Hoodman right angle finder, but I wouldn't make the same choice again.

I just received the Adorama catalog and there is a Pro-Optic right angle "C"
type 2.5x magnifier for $89.95. I don't know if the quality is the same but
it
looks like a good buy.
