Giottos LCD lens
So, I bought a Giottos LCD lens for my Nikon D40. Bad idea. I removed the original Nikon plastic POS and all looked good, the glass is of high quality and it looks very nice, however it kept popping off. I put a couple dabs of super glue on it thinking that should resolve the issue, however it caused some weird glare on the glass from the fumes (I think?) and when I went to remove it to clean it, it SHATTERED even though I had used only a small amount of pressure to attempt the removal. The small shards of glass caused a couple of small marks on the actual LCD but nothing that is a shower stopper nor is it noticeable so that’s good. I saved the original Nikon cover and all is good again.
That said, the big failure in this piece of gear is that for 35 dollars, it should not keep popping off and to shatter from just a minor amount of pressure is disheartening. I won’t be purchasing another one that’s for sure.
