Film making gadget that looks like a monocle?

Aspire2Wri

I saw a picture of a guy working on a film set holding something up to his eye and looking at the sky, and it looked...well, the way I can best describe it is that it looked like a monocle. However, at least from the angle, it looked like the glass or screen was black, not clear glass. (Perhaps some of you have seen a picture similar to this. Any Merlin fans? The first place I saw it was a picture of Colin Morgan holding this gadget up to his eye.)

Anyone know what this MIGHT be? I'm so curious!

Answer
Probably a viewfinder. Posers use them to look cool, but directors use them to see what the camera would see from a given viewpoint.

Only an idiot would point it directly at the sun.

It could also be an extinction meter (long extinct in stills photography due to its unreliability) used to get some idea of the light levels.
