Sun Shades Drop Down Rear View Mirror

These radios are amazing. Installed in my Jeep above my rear view mirror and I am stoked about it. It’s small enough to not be in the way but is great for communicating with fellow Jeep’s. I used the ghost antenna so that it didn’t get wiped out by limbs on the trail. I’m thinking of purchasing the 6db antenna to help increase my range. I feel you can’t go wrong with this radio! Will be purchasing another for my sons Jeep.

Shades the sun on my video cam monitor screen. I keep one (various sizes) in each camera bag.

It fits my lens. It shades the sun like lens hoods are supposed to. Why do I need to rate this? Come on!

This filter is easy to use in my 800mm lens. I am looking for more rear drop-in filters.

I use regular lens shades almost 100% of  the time.  Once and a while when I need to shoot into the sun (or other light source) I need something more.  Have use grey cards and other similar things in the past.  This is PERFECT for those shoots.  Strap it on and shoot without having to hold something in place.  Brilliant!

In the mid-1980s I bought a Nikon 7.5mm f5.6 circular fisheye. Being an older design (1966) its rear elements protruded into the mirror box. Fortunately my F3 had a hard physical mirror lockup. The external viewfinder for this lens attached to the camera on the original Nikon F/F2’s proprietary flash shoe. I was able to buy an AS-3 flash adapter for the F3. With the F3s mirror locked up I also had to use an hand-held light meter. With amazing depth of foield focusing was never an issue. The old zoom lens had six filters on a wheel. One was a skylight and the other five were strongly colored for B&W film. While I liked the circular results, using the lens was a hassle. I often had my shoes or forehead in the picture. On a sunny day, my images suffered from solar flares. My new Nikon 8-15mm AF-S fisheye has none of those old problems. It fits on my DSLRs without any problem. It doesn’t need an external finder or separate light meter. At the 8mm setting (and lens hood off) I get a circular image very much like the vintage fisheye. The new lens is faster and focusable. Like my 14mm f2.8 Nikkor, this zoom uses gel filters inserted in the rear of the lens. I really don’t like this arrangement. This fisheye is similar in weight and size to the 14mm lens. I am also not fond of the electronic aperture control first seen on G lenses. Without an aperture ring one cannot use this zoom on older cameras. At the longer end of the zoom range (12-15mm) the image fills the (FX) frame and lens hood stays out of the way. This image is similar to my inexpensive Bower (Samyang?) 8mm fisheye with its fixed lens hood (and DX coverage). So far I haven’t used my new lens much but I think I will like it.

Filter gives a white view of the sun, no color; beautifully sharp.

excellent camera. The best part is the view finder that works well in the sun

The glasses were excellent. They provided a clear safe view of the sun and eclipse.

Your video does look better with this. When the sun is shinning so bright this will help to view your video better. Not so much glare.
