Subject: Handy use for Hasselblad viewfinder
This idea has proved so useful, I want to share it.  I found a used
waist-level Hasselblad viewfinder at a flea market, and I have been using it
with my digital camera, my Palm organizer and my cell phone.  It doesn't
attach, but when I hold it against the screen, I get shade and
magnification.
When it's not in use, it folds flat and goes in my pocket.

These viewfinders are available on e-bay, but they're not cheap--I just
bought a second one for fifty bucks.  Does anyone have suggestions for other
makes that might be more available and cheaper?

Mamiya, the TLRs had WLFs, but the magnifier is a fold-up rather than
permanent.
