Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EP-EX15 Eyepiece Extender for all EOS Cameras
Customer Review: Works well
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this eyepiece because I was tired of my face smashed against my LCD display on my 20D and the resulting smudges.
The extender moves my face away just the right amount - no smudges but also not so far out that it is obstructive.
Customer Review: Long Noses - Easy to lose eyecup
Summary: 3 Stars
As a part-time professional photographer, I had high hopes for the EP-EX15 eye extender when purchased. My nose and cheeks tend to oil up whenever I press anything against them. My Canon Digital Rebel's LCD screen is my bread and butter determiner on "when I have the shot" and can go on to my next pose, subject or client and my goal was to have that viewing area oil free!
Unfortunately, a microfiber cloth eyeglass cleaner for around 2 bucks with a spray bottle of Costco eyeglass solution seems to work best for me.
With a larger nose than another reviewer - the extra spacing actually helps my framing angle - but mentioned by others - I lose some framing area using the EP-EX15. Tough trade-off! Worst of all - although it works better than NO Eyepiece Extender - oil and sweat still cover 1/2 of my LCD area.
If you decide to keep this unit on your camera long enough - you will eventually lose all or part of it. I've gone through two rubber eye cups (lost who knows where -- oops - found one under the bed yesterday) - and must reseat the eyepiece extender at the start of every photo shoot - as it doesn't lock down tightly enough and tends to migrate up and off the eyepiece mounting bracket.
For a time - I actually used the EP-EX15 without the rubber eye-cup and got better framing results than with the rubber attached.
It is one of the cheapest accessories you can buy for the Canon Rebel. I still use it - and reframe most of what I do in photoshop anyway.
This is not a sterling endorsement of the product - if on a tight budget - live without it. If you're a large nosed, oily cheeked photographer - try it out (what's $18 bucks anyway) - but keep the eyeglass cleaner handy!

Oh my god, it doesn't prevent my nose going against the LCD screen at all, it extended about 2mm, that's pretty much it, I am asian and my nose is not even as close to Jacky Chen! on top of that, the viewfinder is about 30% smaller! it's so hard to focus at low light, cause all your objects are SO FREAKING SMALL NOW!Customer Review: J Hodges West Point, Utah

Yes it does extend your eyepiece out, but at what price? It's like looking through a pair of binoculars backward. Your view finder is about half the size.
