I wanted to make a new thread because I failed to realize that I had an acrylic cover protecting my LCD screen from scratches. I attached the Z-Finder overtop of the acrylic and this gave me less than desirable results image wise. Since removing the acrylic cover, I find that the Z-Finder is better than I stated in an earlier post.

before I got the z-finder I had a clear shield over the LCD, but with the Z-Finder the on-camera bezel makes scratching the LCD much less likely, even with the Z-Finder off. So I removed the shield and it's been fine.
