5 out of 5 stars Great Product   May 27, 2008

I would heartily recommend this product to everyone who has a Canon camera. It it a wonderful addition to my camera.


5 out of 5 stars Necessary!   May 15, 2008
I wish this had been included with the original purchase of the camera. It makes using the viewfinder much easier and more comfortable.


3 out of 5 stars Works great... if you rip out the lenses! Grab a screwdriver!   March 29, 2008

I noticed this product was getting mixed reviews... it was either lauded for keeping one's nose off the LCD, or reviled for shrinking the viewfinder's image. For those of you not familiar with this product, it inexplicably shrinks the viewable image in the viewfinder for seemingly no good reason. The instruction manual states "This will INCREASE the viewfinder image by 0.5"! Hmmm... when has cutting something in half been considered an increase?!?!

Anyway, I found some people recommending modification of the product to make it more ideal and functional, and that's exactly what I did. I took a tiny Phillips head screwdriver, took the eyepiece extender apart, and removed the 2 plastic lenses. Once reassembled (its really easy, don't be afraid), it did, in fact, keep my nose off the LCD and I can still see the viewfinder as it were before, mostly. I wear glasses and found it necessary to adjust the diopter dial to get the best focus (no small feat as this device covers the diopter dial!).

Overall, if you're willing to put some work into it, this product works. Given what one has to do to make it work the way it should, however, it should only cost $5.



5 out of 5 stars Simple Yet Functional Upgrade   February 18, 2008
A must have if you shoot more the the average bear...

Being a pro photographer, I use a high-end Canon 5D (which takes amazing photos by the way) because I prefer the performance of the full-frame sensor. Among a few other things that this model lacks in comparison to its professional big brothers, the 1D series, is an extended eye piece. It may seem like a trivial thing at first until you have taken thousands of photos.

After having turned my face diagnally for extended periodes of time to make a flush connection with the viewfinder, I found that my eye would begin to fatigue from looking up and to the right for so long. With my new viewfinder extension, I feel much less eyestrain and I can shoot at peak performance for much longer periods.

Given the nature of this device, it does "shrink" the view a bit which has its pros and cons. While it may not be ideal for your detailed macro or manually focused shots, for me it's a small trade off since easy to see all my meters and composition effortlessly through the eyepiece. Plus it's so easy to remove and re-install that it's a win-win.

1 out of 5 stars no use.. resting in my backpack   February 16, 2008

The product is nice, but useless.. it's resting in my backpack since I bought it. It makes the viewvinder so smaller you cant check focus and other caracteristics of the image.
