Review: Canon Eye Extender EP-EX15

I had high hopes for the Canon Eye Extender EP-EX15. I used it on my Canon 5D for a few months but ended up removing it. It can be used on other cameras such as the Digital Rebel, 20D, 30D, or 40D. The EP-EX15 reduces viewfinder magnification by 30% with two small plastic lenses extending the eyepiece 5/8" from the camera body. This is useful for eyeglass wearers and people with large noses from touching the LCD on the camera body with their nose. It also reduces condensation or fogging.

I found the tunnel vision effect not very useful but for some people the extension would be very handy. Over time little skin particles will find themselves between the two lenses of the EP-EX15. It is a simple procedure to remove the two small screws, a piece of plastic, piece of metal and the two lenses to clean them. Be sure to remember the order everything came apart.
