Good value and good service
Excellent product (HC 1% is a commodity) and quick delivery. The tube design is excellent, a narrow nozzle makes the plastic tube usable (unlike most plastic tubes).

Excellent and good value
It does the job, but is not at all easy to stick to your camera's screen. If you have never done this before, or done it rarely, then you will probably mess up your first try. Fortunately the pack contains four pieces, probably because the makers know very well that it will take at least one practice to get it right.
It is also absolutely essential to fit the scren in a dust-free environment. Even the tiniest speck can ruin things.
Once fitted the screen is tough, cannot be accidentally dislodged, and does the job very well. I would happily buy this brand again, fior wahtever cameras I migt own in th future.

Getting long in the tooth, but still a great camera.
This camera was introduced as long ago as 2005, replaced in 2007, and has been surpassed technically in almost every respect by later "flagship" EOS cameras, culminating in the fusion of the fast-shooting "1D" line with the high resolution "1Ds" line in the current top-of-range EOS 1D x.
Nevertheless it is still a superb photographic tool. It is twice the weight of a prosumer DSLR, but that is a worthwhile price for a body that can be soaked in a downpour or dropped onto concrete yet just carry on working.
Earlier models had a rather poor LCD, but with the 2.5" screen introduced on this model it becomes completely usable.
8.2 Mp might not seem much in these days of 20+ Mp cameras, but it is enough to make decent prints up to A4 size and with modest interpolation up to A3 and beyond. And they are high quality pixels, with not much noise.
Image quality at high sensitivities is one area that has improved a lot in more recent Bayer-matrix cameras but the 1Ds mk ii N is in no way a poor performer. It is best at speeds up to 800 ASA but with careful post-processing of the RAW files the 1600 setting is fully usable, and even the 3200 can produce usable images when no other option is possible.
I bought mine because I wanted something that handles faster and gives better low light results than my other DSLR (The Sigma SD1 Merrill with its Foveon sensor that delivers amazingly detailed 15 Mp images, but at the price of slow operation, slow workflow, and poor low-light performance ... it is only really usable up to 200 ASA, possibly 400 at a pinch. Speeds above 800 might as well not be there!).
The 1.3x crop factor of the APS-H sensor happens to be my favourite. It is (for me) an ideal compromise between the quality and greater DOF control of a full frame chip and the apparently greater reach (but smaller photocells and increased DOF) of the APS-C format.
It lacks few features that are available on more recent DSLRs, most noticeably live view and video capability, but as a stills camera it is still an excellent, fully professional photographic tool for everything but billboard size images. All the controls are fast, responsive, and fall easily to hand and the fast AF and maximum frame rate (8.5 fps) are only surpassed by a handful of the very best of more recent cameras.
It is noticeably more usable than its predecessors (1D, 1D mk ii) and its immediate successor is only marginally improved and does not justify its much higher second-hand price. For example the increased Mp count (to a little over 11Mp) makes hardly any visible difference to the final resolution (it is approximately 16% more linear resolution). At best it gives a little more margin for creative cropping.
As the 1D mk ii N is now available at a small fraction of its original high price, yet often has well over half of its shutter life remaining, it is an absolute bargain.
