For those of you currently working in the LCD as viewfinder/pseudo-groundglass mode, I highly recommend using a mirror at 45degrees to the panel for yet another way of arriving at amazing view angles and candid catches. Your lady friends constantly throw away mirrors from their makeup kits which work perfectly for this. The Digilux1 hood actually works well to hold the mirror in place by friction.

Fond regards,
