I guess I'll take out the lens in the EP-EX15 and see what that does.

Thanks for the idea. I went ahead and did that over the weekend and I actually like it better. I didn't realize how much that extender shrunk the viewing area.

You can remove the phillips head screw and open it up, remove the lens and put it back together. Throw the lens in the box and save it should you decide to sell it later. Most people that buy one of these really just use it to space the eyepiece further back from the camera... I used one on my D30, but not the 1D2N. How do you make it fit a MK2? I put mine on but the original eye

I put mine on but the original eye piece has a triangular piece stopping it going over the eyepiece extender  Not sure, actually. I wanted to attach it to my 1D2N and saw it didn't quite fit and never went past that. It's not quite as useful on the 1D series as the other bodies since the 1D eyepieces already stick out a little... But I'm still interested. La Vida Leica!

I would imagine if it's something silly like a little plastic extrusion while all else remains equal, I'd say maybe an X-Acto knife should make quick work of it. The EP-EX15 works on the 1D2N but you have to replace the original eye cup with one that fits the 10,20,30,40D's

In either case to me the viewfinder felt like it lost something to me. I have used both styles on a 40D and 5D. [Gear List | Flickr

I am going to try this removing the lens idea, that sounds like it will help a lot! I am looking for an eyecup that wraps around the side of my face and rotates so I can eliminate the light coming in to the side of my eye, and still turn the camera for portraits. I used to have this very thing for my old Canon AE-1 Film camera, but can't seem to find one for the EOS digital line. Any one have any idea where I can find one? Similar to THIS .How about this one? What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
