Any of you try the Hoodman eye thingy for shooting with glasses on?

Nope, however my father wears glasses and has one of these.  I'm pretty sure it's a Hoodman, although I'm not 100%.   Does anyone else make one of these?

Wear glasses, but remove them to shoot... I'm assuming those who use the Hoodman are using "Live view" ?

No, we're talking about the Hoodman eye cup for glasses wearers, not the Hoodman Loupe.  (I was, anyway)

I always had an eye cup on my film cameras so I was pleased to find that Hoodman makes an over-size one to accommodate glasses.  Works well!

I have one and it's very comfortable.  Before I started to wear glasses while I was shooting, I used the normal eye cup from Hoodman.  These things really work to cut out the light your eye picks up from the sides.

I have the normal eye cup from these guys and I won't own another camera with out having one of these.  When you use it, you get used to the darkness it provides.
