Canon EOS 400D viewfinder.

Hi guys,

Some months ago I was looking for some lenses able to improve my Canon EOS 400D viewfinder.

400D has just two big problems, IMHO: viewfinder is dark, and I think no way to make it better as it uses a pentamirror; the second one is the viewfinder has a real little magnification rate.

On the web in a forum someone ask infos about http://www.kpsrd.co.kr​/en/PRODUCTS_U-13C_en.htmand after a few emails with this guy I decided to buy it.

I’ve had the possibility to test it on a long journey back to Europe with my wife, traveling around Italy, my country, then France, Netherlands and Singapore, before come back to Indonesia, where I actually live.

I noticed immediately a real difference when I’d to compose pics or even when try to focus manual, and the eyecup is a good way to avoid some “oiling” problem when you stay long time stick to rear lcd with your nose, especially during summer.

Now I’m really enjoying my 400D and maybe I could postpone the upgrade to a mid or high range camera as I already own a complete underwater housing system which worths 4 time camera’s value.

Cheers.
Andrea

The link does not work.

theres a nikon viewfinder eyepiece you can buy the dk21-m i believe and it magnifies it a little bit.

You're right, all the english version of their website is down, I can just add the link to the original webpage, but it's in Korean, maybe is just a problem for a few days...

This is the only link which works and gives an idea of what can make the magnifier:

Andrea, which housing are you using? For the housing, Inon now makes a 45 degree viewfinder (magnifying) and is about to come out with a straight one as well - which can be retrofitted to many housing backs.

Living in Manado and a diver - by chance working with one of the resorts?

Intrigued by the eye cup option - I have some trouble with the "oiling" as you describe it and another choice would be nice. Keep us informed as to the English site.

I'm using a UK-Germany housing, Uwe makes a magnifying viewfinder as well, and turnable, but really expensive for my pocket now. Anyway I felt I need a magnifier for my out of water photography.

Yes, I'm one of the Celebes Divers owners, Mapia and Onong Resort, www.kudalaut.com, I hope to see you here then!

Yes it's nice to reduce "oiling" as your face and your nose are not so close as usual, I've already written to Mr. Jeong from KPS, maybe He'll write me back, you could also contact him in English at span style="color:Black;"kps dot korea at yahoo dot co dot kr.

Cheers.

Andrea, am familiar with Celebes, though I've not been diving with you yet. Perhaps the next time I come through!

Thank you for writing to Mr. Jeong. Will look forward to what you learn.
