Product Description
Increase the viewing distance while also increasing confidence and comfort. With an additional 1.2x viewfinder magnification, you can further close the gap between camera and subject and capture greater detail in the process for more compelling pictures. You'll even enjoy greater ease confirming the composition and focus of each shot, along with the experience of increased comfort taking it. This mounted rubber eyecup replaces the standard eyecup on any EVOLT series digital SLR.

 Usefull in some Conditions August 11, 2008
I replaced my default eyepiece which is a piece of rubber came with my E-510. I bought this because I like to use manual focus with my 14-42mm and 40-150mm. These lenses don't offer very accurate and fast auto focus and I want to shoot close-up things.
The conditions to feel this piece usefull:
1- Shooting macro.
2- Good light source (or maybe good lens).
never expect huge deference. 1.2x isn't enough and barely there is a deference but 2x could be better.
I don't consider buying this piece as a waste of money (small lens better than nothing anyway) because I use the Macro mode with the ex-25. but if you always use auto focus or you don't care about macro,then don't bother yourself with this piece. for the price, It's expensive for just 1.2x
 Olympus ASME1 EyeCup for EOS 20D June 16, 2008
This EyeCup needs some modification to really fit in the EOS 20D, by either cutting or filing off a piece of plastic.
After that, it works well. Bright and make the view finder bigger, as big as the full frame view finder.
Recommended for those who prefer a larger view through the view finder.
new eyecup for my E-500 April 30, 2008

I've lost old eyecup that came with E-500. I found AS-ME-1 Eyecup information from internet and purchased it.
After I've recieved it and use it, I've found that its performance better than the old one a little.
Olympus AS-ME-1 Eyecup on my E-501 April 8, 2008
Being used to my E-1, I was having problems focusing through the viewfinder of my new E-501. The ME-1 Eyecup solved that, was easy to install and has the Olympus great build quality. Now it fields like I'm focusing through my E-1 viewfinder again.
 Worth it for manual focusing... February 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I like to use manual focus on my E-500 a lot, and purchased this for that reason. With the recent addition of a Lensbaby to my camera bag, I'm really glad I have this, since every bit helps when using one. The magnification isn't HUGE with this eyepiece, but I have the benefit of having a friend with the same camera, and when you compare directly between the stock eyecup and this one, you can see the difference. Not for everyone, but if you want a little boost for using manual focus, I highly recommend this.
