View Full Version : Any DRebel eyepiece extenders for those w/out glasses

Ok, I will admit that I wear glasses. But, at last check (bout 18 months ago), I was only 20/24 or so. Nothing really bad. I only wear them to drive or if I need to see things at a long distance.

But, my eyes are set back in my head probably a bit more than others, and that means that I'm having to push the camera body right up onto my eye to get a good clear focus on things (esp for Macro shots). Now, it isn't a huge problem, but it is an annoyance. And, I've noticed that even a few millimeters can make the difference between a shot in the viewfinder looking sharp or look a tad blurry (even if it is in focus both ways).

I know there are eyepiece extenders made to tailor to those who wear glasses. But, what about those of us who just want to keep our cheeks off the body and LCD screen?

Thanks in advance

reduces viewfinder magnification by 30%

Is there an extender that enlarges magnification?

I know of the angle finder (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=183200&is=REG) , but have not heard of a straight extender that also magnifies.

I gotta ask...why does that eyepiece reduce the magnification?

Only way they can give full coverage and the extension. If you try looking through a hollow tube of the same length (or, through your glasses), you won't be able to see the full finder. So, they shrink it so you can.
