:(I have macular degeneration with a scar directly in the center of the retina. I am blind in the other eye and can no longer use manual focs. I can barely see the flashing red dot when using auto focus

Does anyone know of anything available to help? I have a magnifying eyepice on the camera now.

Thnks, Jack

Checked it out. Not really large enough for my use.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I am seeing a low vision doctor Wednesday and maybe he will help. If not, oh well-Stuff happens.

Thnks again!!

I stopped by a camera store in Burbank, CA. I have traded there every time I come to California to visit my daughter in Glendale.

I explained my problem and he sold me a right angle viewer that has a magnification of 1.5 to 2.5. It works well and was $130.00. It fits on the viewer eyepiece.

I fo appreciate your suggestion and maybe this will help someone else.
