Trouble seeing the info in viewfinder during bright conditions

[gossamer]

Hi,

I have a D300 and I'm having a terrible time seeing the camera information through the viewfinder when I'm shooting in bright light conditions. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this easier? I've tried covering the whole viewfinder with my eye, but it's still just too faint to see clearly.

I'm assuming others are having this problem as well?

Is there a replacement viewfinder hood that might help?

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

You might want some type of eyecup for those types of conditions. If you shoot with no sunglasses or eyeglasses on, an eyecup can be fabulous.

Thanks very much. I think that's exactly what I need.
