Any Hot Shoe Hood to shade the flare?

[denizg7]

I really like my m6 in low light situations but during some decisive moments on the sun , there is such a flare that I miss my shots...

So yesterday while holding my index finger above the rangefinder patch to shade it an idea came to me..

What if there could be some sort a rf patch hood that extends from the hotshoe..

anyway just my thoughts... I should probably update the m6 to an mp patch to fix this issue...

LOL!! That's quiet funny, especially when you imagine the picture putting that thing on a Leica M!

Get the MP finder update...

I updated the finder on my M7 to the MP version, through Leica in the USA.
It still can flare the RF patch in bright backlight situations. I will have to spend the $15 to try out the "Shade".

That thing should be dubbed flysquatter.com. It's too obvious what the prototype looked like... 😀
