I put this on my Sony NEX-3 camera today. It attaches just fine, but the LCD image is rotated 180 degrees just as soon as I attach the magnetic hood?

I've used this accessory for many months and never had a problem (I've upgraded to a Nex-6, which comes with a viewfinder, so I don't use it anymore) but I remember a few people reporting damaging issues related to the magnets. I have always found that an exaggeration (at least in theory). Now, when you bring a crazy issue like this to the table....

Check youtube, there is a video where the guy actually uses velcro to attach the hood which makes it easily removable. He tossed the mount that would attach to the tripod threads

hey thomas-- i have not experienced this .. i have the nex-5 and it works well for me-- and using an old case where i can leave it on for storage-- not sure if there is a setting on your camera-- sorry couldn't offer more help....

I did not observe the same. Although i remember reading about people complaints that magnetic field of the frame is too strong and it affects focusing. Frankly I have not been using it much because if you need to keep you camera in a case it is very inconvenient to remove and attach the Viewfinder every now and then.

The screen on my D600 is 3.2. I'd say the hood is actually a touch larger than the screen.

Mine rotates a little, maybe a 16th of an inch or so. As long as it is secure and does not pop off, it should not matter. I also have a pinch style lens cover that snaps onto it so I do not have to try to reach inside to remove or replace it and it has never popped off. The only time I remove it is when I use the flash.

I have not. But I do not find the magnetic mount to be problematic when using the camera, just when I store it my camera bag and am willing to tolerate that inconvenience.

Yes it works fine but it causes vignetting after about f/5.6 (using the aperture ring on the mount)

No. I am very upset with this ítem because it did not fit my camera. Now I am asking you how I can return it because it was not the ítem described.The buttons are shifted from what my camera needs.I had to go on my vacations without the case and I exposed my camera to very low temperaturas and wáter from the sea.My camera is NEX-3N and definitely it did not work.

Their is a thread mount ring that fits onto the thread of the lens and the hood twists onto the mount ring. The mount ring stay's in place, while you twist the hood off flip it over and twist it back onto the mount ring. Just reverse the process to flip it back. Hope this been some help.

I don't think it's good for a full frame camera. I used to use it on my 60D but now on my 5D it is very vignetted. Interested to hear what sawing the removable hood would look like, not sure if it'd fix the problem though.

Specifically to address this issue I purchased the 55MM Collapsible Rubber Lens Hood for Camera Lens with 55MM Filter Thread by Goja from Amazon and it works GREAT. It has three positions and works pretty well,but I do have an issue with vignetting when shooting at widest angle (full wide 20mm) but that is easily corrected by zooming out a bit, or if full wide is desired easily take the hood off in a sec.

This does not attach to the camera - there are other hoods on Amazon that do. You wear this around your neck and view the screen in the bright sun. Also, the magnification adjustment on this is wonderful. I highly recommend this for that. If you want a permanent one, there are others that might suit you better.

this is alone will not device your work , you have another hoodman choices can help you with this produce : buy it .. and buy " Hoodman HSLRM Cinema Straps for Extended SLR Video Shooting " or " Hoodman HCRN HoodCrane for HoodLoupe 3.0 " or " Hoodman HCFN Custom Finder Base Plase Kit 3.0" for Cameras with 3.0" Screens " to make the hoodloupe steady in the cam . ( i advice you to buy Hoodman HMAG3.0 3X magnifying eyecup for HoodLoupe 3.0 too "very important to me" ) .. i wish what i said help you .. allah bless you .

The camera is upside down when the mount is first shipped. When you disconnect the connecter from the mount to the camera, you can flip it so the camera is right side up. It's fairly simple.

Mine was the same way, thought I'd gotten the wrong lens. I contacted Olympus and they said it shouldn't be like that and to exchange it if I wanted. I didn't want to mess with it and it has become easier to put on and take off without making the mounting too loose for my other lens. It worked itself out.

I have one and it hooks up nicely as described. It obviously solves a serious problem with LCD only viewfinders in any kind of bright light condition. It's extreme, definitely defeats the main feature of a small camera with a large sensor, the rear lens could be made finer, but the cost is low. Therefore, I mostly use this item:RainbowImaging LCD Pop-Up Screen Hood Cover for Sony E-Mount NEX-5 NEX-3 NEX-C3 CameraIt helps protect the LCD, folds and unfolds instantly, while retaining the camera's overall size, it fits in the camera case! I'd get both, oh wait, I did... I have one and it hooks up nicely as described. It obviously solves a serious problem with LCD only viewfinders in any kind of bright light condition.

No. This is a true Nikon hood. I can't answer to using with a filter, but there is no vignetting with the hood at any focal point.

The adapter I have was very tight at first. I removed the assembly from the camera and had to use a considerable amount of force to get it to come off the first lens I put it on. Just MAKE SURE the small release pin on the side is pulled back (to release the locking pin) before trying to rotate the adapter when removing it. Be careful not to damage your lens. Best of luck.
