Got my Rolleiflex binocular hood from Singapore today. I overpaid a bit for this item I think and it was sort of accidental purchase but it should be a good gear addition. When I am photographing in the dump it will be like having a magnified dark cloth, it should allow me to focus properly more often. There should be less distracting light and flare and more magnification in darkness, that is a good combo. It is a strange looking item but if it works it works, nuff said. I will take 2 Rolleiflex F 2.8 cameras with me this trip, will use the binocular hood device on the Rollei with Rolleinar close up attachment lens. Will keep this camera setup in my bag for quick grab shots as it will not have a strap.
