Any other option for a lcd magnifier for the PT-058?

[GirlonFire]

I have been looking at the AOI UMG-01 LCD Magnifier but would love something without a single eye viewfinder. A full screen magnifier would be great.
My eyes are fine but I like to look at the screen and subject together when able and in certain light, this is not possible with the size of the tg-5 screen and corresponding pt-058 screen.

Anyone try to 3d print something? lol

Hard to imagine something like you'd like to have. Seems like you'd have to have the LCD view and the direct view be at the same magnification, or how would you look at it, and why would you bother? The point of the magnification is, well, the magnification of what the image will be, not of what your eye sees.
My wife uses the AOI magnifier; won't go in the water without it.

I've been curious about these viewfinders. Any idea what the working distance is? Would rather not have to jam my mask up against the thing.

I own one and never really got the hang of using it

It has an adjustable focus distance, so having the mask close to it is convenient (motion, light, focus steadiness) but not essential.

Sounds like you should sell it to GirlonFire and solve two problems!
