Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EP-EX15 Eyepiece Extender for all EOS Cameras
Customer Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
Yep, it extends the eyepiece out a little bit ... which helps those of us with noses not smudge the lcd display ... but it also distorts the view in an annoying way.
I use mine on occasion ... but not all the time.
Customer Review: Fatally Flawed
Summary: 2 Stars
Yes, it does provide a bit more eye relief, and can make it easier to see the whole frame (by making it smaller), BUT there is a major problem with this. The eyepiece lens surface will not be as deeply couched in the rubber trim when you use this, and the result is a lot more reflections flashing around in the eyepiece when you have light behind you. This is especially a problem when you are wearing glasses. Customer Review: Worth it for me
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this extender so that I could be more comfortable looking through the viewfinder. 5/8ths of an inch doesn't seem like a big difference, but it is enough to put some space between your face and the camera.
Having your face pressed against the camera is a good thing, as it helps to stabilize the camera reducing camera shake. However I find the 20D very uncomfortable without the extender. My discomfort comes more from how the eyepiece cushion rests on the eye and not so much from a smashed nose. The extender doesn't prevent the camera from pressing against my nose, although it clearly doesn't press as much. My face still is in contact with the back of the camera. The eyepiece cushion feels more comfortable pressed against the eye with the extender in place.
To install, you remove the eyepiece cushion from the camera, slip on the extender and then reattach the eyepiece cushion to the extender.
The extender does reduce the magnification in the viewfinder, but not enough to be an issue for me. The extenders can be purchased with your eye glass prescription strength in mind so one doesn't need to wear their glasses when using the camera. This particular extender does not correct vision.
This extender stays on my camera at all times.
PROS:
Gives your nose some breathing room.
Adds comfort
CONS:
Reduces magnification in the viewfinder.
Customer Review: I wish I discovered this accessory years ago.

As an eyeglass wearer, I suffered needlessly for years.Customer Review: As Expected
Summary: 5 Stars
All I really expected to get was a little more space between the eye and the camera body. It works perfectly for that purpose.
