has anyone ever used this...can one focus sd with a 35mm adapter with it?

That's not a monitor at all. That's a magnifying glass inside a lens hood.

Doh!!!!

Imagine mounting that on your hvx flip out screen the damn thing will break off your cam.

I did say cheapest monitor, sorry for the deception, but does it work?

 

[Nathan Beaman]

its not a monitor.
it blocks lights from the already existing LCD - and magnifys it

The VSL-CWS-DVX is for AG-DVX100/A camera operators who may sometimes have trouble seeing detail on those tiny LCD screens. The Century LCD widescreen magnifier is the perfect solution. The magnification will let you see everything you need from a comfortable distance. No more having to get right up against the screen to compose your shot.

so, I know what it is, and I know what it does, but does it work?
Might be great for run n gun
