Olympus EYECUP ME-1 MAGNIFIER Review
This item really threw off my composition, caused me to question my own eye sight! Needless to say it was useless to me, so I can not recommend this product.

Works as advertised, as long as you don't wear glasses
I use Olympus E-510, and like many others, I've found difficulty in manual focusing due to the viewfinder's small size -- hence the purchase.
Installation is easy. Just pull the old eyecup up and out, and slide the new one in. Simple. Takes 5 seconds.
And when I looked through the viewfinder, the difference was obvious. At 20% size increase, the difference may not be humongous, but it was evident, and I definitely had an easier time manually focusing. Excellent.
However, it must be noted that I do NOT wear eyeglasses when I shoot. And I tend to bring my eye very close to the viewfinder. Even so, the aperture/shutter speed display was hanging juuust on the right edge of my view, making them slightly difficult to see. For me, this is a minor annoyance at most, and something I can easily adjust to. But for those who wear glasses (i.e. those who must keep some distance between the viewfinder and the eye), I can see how this could be a deal-breaker -- the aperture/etc display likely will not be visible to them in their normal eye position.
So I can recommend this product only to those who do not wear eyeglasses. Or to those willing to switch to contact lenses or get lasik surgery...........

Eyecup is good- helpful for my needs
The eyecup is useful for my needs. I have a e-620. It provides the magnification and the soft rubber helps when placing my eye to the view finder. The one challenge is the eyecup hangs a fraction to low for one to open the lcd panel, but a slight touch upwards allows one to make the swing. Since I don't move the lcd out very much, it doesn't matter to me.

Really doesnt make a big difference
I bought this because I thought it would improve my viewfinder of my Olympus E-500 but the difference is minimal and it's harder to use with glasses. Also this doesn't attach as firmly as the original eyepiece, so I lost mine after a couple of months.

Eyecup with a Smile
I purchased this for viewing my focusing improvement in some situations. It does what I required and I can still see & read all of my setting in the SLR so I am pleased to have purchased it from Amazon. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a better view of focusing. The loss of viewing angle on the settings in the window are minimal and there are no bad feelings on this purchase. It is a POSITIVE PURCHASE for those needing this help to make better pictures. Price is good as well. CB
Make sure to see my web site for the work I did with this eyepiece gcn.cx/myray

Olympus Cameras HistoryOlympus Corporation (early known as Takachiho Seisakusho) was founded by Takeshi Yamashitaon on October 12, 1919, and initially specialized in microscope and thermometer businesses. The company is named after Mount Olympus, the home of the gods in Greek mythology.
Olympus continued the tradition of manufacturing high-quality optics through the development of camera lenses, starting in 1934. Two years later the Zuiko lens was born.
 Through its history Olympus Company has manufactured various types of cameras: medium-format cameras, fully automatic zoom cameras, 35mm cameras, EE-equipped cameras, autofocus cameras - in different series.
The history of Olympus cameras began in 1936, when they introduced their first camera, the Semi-Olympus I. It was very expensive camera for that time.
In 1959 the first truly innovative camera series was launched - compact and portable (for their time) PEN models. They were half-frame format, allowing 72 pictures of 18 × 24 mm format on a stand... More About Olympus Cameras |
