I’ve read so many good opinions about it that i thought to mylself why not? Then i ordered one from 47stphoto through amazon. When i got the package i noticed that they put 2 nikon adapters instead one for Pentax. That was my luck because i had the perfec excuse to return it. Why?
1. It does not help you to see any better or any closer (that makes a difference).
2. The glass is so poor that looks like u r using the worst filter on your lens ever!
3. reduce your angle of viewing.
pros? Just read all the others threads about it! That was my mistake to believe completely without testing by myself so i want to help people like me to not buy it without first trying out this product.
ps: i tried to resell it to two others friends, one uses a d3 and another a 1ds. In case u think it’s just me

I purchased this eyepiece as a replacement for the original eyepiece on my Canon Rebel XTi. After nearly an hour of experimenting with its focus, I was unable to see clearly through the eyepiece – and yes, I first checked the diopter adjustment on the camera.
So, I ended up returning the product. Unfortunately, I wasted nearly $20 in express shipping to receive the product prior to leaving on a photo expedition. I ultimately purchased the Canon OEM eyepiece for the camera for $12.

This KPS magnifier actually gives a 1. 35x magnification, that’s a 35% increase, which is very significant. I put one on a Panasonic Lumix L1 dslr and the improvement is fantastic. If your viewfinder is small and/or dark, I would give this magnifier a try. The rubber eye cup works great and cuts out all ambient light. Two screws secure it to the original viewfinder so it won’t fall off. I gave it only four stars because I think it is a bit over-priced, but then again, forty bucks for a whole new viewfinder isn’t too bad. One note: I do NOT wear glasses, so I cannot comment on how this will work for those who wear glasses.

I added this to my Canon 50D and love it! It makes the viewfinder much larger. I compared it to a 5D and it is very close in terms of size when looking through this. It makes it easier to see focus and the rubber cup is much nicer than the stock eye piece. It also installs very well so you don’t have to worry about it falling off. I put up a comparison picture on Flickr. You can find it by searching this on [. . . ], sgf323 canon 50d kps 1. 3x site:[. . . ]

First off, I don’t wear glasses and I don’t know how this will feel for a glasses wearer.
After reading a lot about this eyepiece magnifier I decided to give it a try on my Nikon D60. It fits perfectly and installed in a couple of minutes. First thing you must then do is fine tune the diopter so you’ll get the sharpest view. I like this eyepiece a lot! It’s crisp and clear. It sticks out just far enough to give your nose more room. No more squishing my face against the back of the camera. The eye cup is also very comfortable. I’m still able to see all the info at the bottom of the viewfinder including the green focus indicator. I previously installed a split prism focusing screen from [. . . ] and this combination is great. I shoot with a lot of old manual focus lenses and this combo makes my D60 feel a lot more like a film camera. It’s much easier to focus quickly and accurately now. Highly recommended for the D60 and D40 users. One caveat. My camera was hopelessly out of adjustment for manual focusing. The auto focus green dot was dead on. I needed to adjust the allen head behind the mirror for the manual focus and auto focus to both be accurate. It’s easy to do. You can find a step by step guide online if you Google D70 focus adjusting. Same steps for the D40 and D60. For you to get the most out of both the split prism and eyepiece magnifier you’ll want to do this.
