I managed to lose my eyepiece and extender this weekend for my 50D. I was getting ready to order another one then thought I might should ask if anyone has something they prefer to the OEM piece. Shoot mostly nature type stuff with some basic portratis and what not mixed in.

Anybody got something they would recommend?

I had the same problem and solved it by putting a piece of duct tape on the back of the extender where it contacts the standard eyepiece. Increased friction has prevented the separation of the two.
