Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EP-EX15 Eyepiece Extender for all EOS Cameras
Customer Review: Did not read carefully
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought I was buying this because I lost my eye cup. I was dissapointed to find that it was only an extender not a larger eyecup replacement. I like how it brings the eye piece out, it is more comfortable to shoot with, however I feel like I am going to loose the whole unit when I am walking arond with my d60 hanging over my shoulder form the neck strap.
bottom line it does what it says, but it stays in my bag most of the time.
Customer Review: doesn't fit right?
Summary: 1 Stars
This gets 1 star for the simple fact that it doesn't seem to fit my Mark II body properly. Customer Review: Why would Canon release such a product?
Summary: 2 Stars
These are my experiences with the extender mounted to my EOS 10D. I'm currently debating whether or not to buy it for my new 30D, but it looks like I don't want to risk wasting my money. Let me explain:
Let me start by saying that the only reason I gave this 2 stars instead of 1 is because it did prevent my nose from smudging the LCD screen. I shoot events at nightclubs a lot, so I'm always (a) running around to get shots, causing me to sweat, which causes a sweaty and oily nose tip and (b) I always show the subjects their photos after I take them, so having a smudgy screen can be kind of annoying. For further clarification, I'm Asian, so my nose is not as defined or long as other ethnicities.
I run around a lot when I shoot. So the constant activity eventually led the extender to naturally fall off. I got lucky once, and found it in the general vicinity of where I was, but the second time, I wasn't so lucky. So what did I do? I purchased another one. Not only did I have to purchase the extender, I had to purchase the viewfinder replacement (the piece with the soft rubber) because that was attached to the lost extender. Another 2 weeks in, and again, same problem. I didn't even bother buying any replacements, as by this time, I upgraded to the 30D.
If you don't plan on doing a lot of running around, then this piece may be okay for you. However, please take into consideration that this piece also fell off for me while putting my camera back in my Canon Backpack. For some reason, the piece didn't fit tightly with the mount on the camera.
Another problem, as most people mentioned, is that images are very noticeably smaller through this extender, so be prepared to have strained eyes if you plan on using your camera all day.
I guess I'll check it out at my local camera shop and see how it fits with the 30D; I'll be sure to write another review if the results are different than with the 10D.
Customer Review: Why isn't 0 stars available??

OK, maybe a 1 star is actually fair since my nose doesn't smudge the LCD screen as much. The MOST annoying thing for me is it constantly falls off the camera. Both my 30D and Rebel XT. If I am lucky enough it will fall off, get lost and eventually I will not be reminded I wasted money on this accesory.Customer Review: Useless...don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
I wear glasses and press against the viewfinder as hard as I can to help keep the shot stable (I shoot birds at 700mm). The first thing my friend and I did was to compare two identical lenses/cameras etc. - one with, one without, the extender.
Result: - the image appeared the same size, and the extender slightly blurred the image. In other words - completely useless.
