In bright light especially, (but anytime) this is a valuable tool for checking focus and exposure. I take mine everywhere and usually wear it around my neck for convenience.....Recommended!

Why so serious?

As everyone else has stated already, it's great for bright situations.  I bought mine on ebay and saved a bit, I would look there first.

I have a friend who uses one because of eyesight issue, especially up close. 

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I have an off-brand that is definitely helpful in bright light. But I think I may buy the new collapsible Hoodman.
