Kirk:
There is a Rollei Wide waist level hood at the auction site
right now, look for the item 390043055368 ; anyway I think you could
use a regular hood and magnifier, the viewing lens, the mirror and the
focusing screen form the image, the hood has nothing to do, you only
lose the Newton glass for the sportsfinder.-
