Spend a few $$ more and buy a Nikon DK-21M Magnifying Eyepiece. I use it on both an XT and XTi. Great fit and the 1.17x magnification helps with manual focusing.

Hi
If the magnifying eyepiece is made for Nikon,
how did you get it to fit on your XT/XTi?
Are they compatible/universal?
Are there any Canon magnifying eyepiece available?
Thanks

If your going to get the Canon EP-EX15 eyepiece extender be aware that it in fact makes it look smaller not bigger as I thought it would.

It's rubbish

Canon seems to be lacking in the eyecup department. I didn't find a Canon magnifying eyepiece (or worthwhile extender). That's why I bought the Nikon.

The Nikon DK-21M works as is, no mods required. It is just slightly wider than the Canon viewfinder flanges slots. This means that the DK-21M can be moved left/right about 1/8". This doesn't affect the view and it will not fall off. When it slides down on the flange, the fit is very snug.

The DK-21M has two coated glass optics. For cleaning, there are four small screws that allow for disassembly. Just remember the positioning of each optic and the plastic spacing.

The DK-21M rear rubber cup section is a Nikon DK-16 which could be replaced for $4.95 from B&H if needed. Much cheaper than replacing the entire assembly should the rubber get damaged.

Be careful while searching for Nikon DK-21M . B&H has the correct photo. Many other sellers show a round style eyecup which is not a DK-21M.

I thought the price was high, but it is well made and works good... even on a Canon! And it looks great together with my Nikon hotshoe cover and Tamron center-grip lens caps on my four Canon lenses! ;-)

I've had to replace two eyecups on my rebel xt...the little plastic clips that hold it on break VERY easily.

maybe it's on backwards?

i lost mine once. just go to bhphotovideo.com and search for a rebel XT or XTi, then scroll down to "more accessories" and it should be listed. i think it's like $10 with shipping, or you could try a local camera store. if you weren't unhappy with your original one, i wouldn't go rush out to buy a replacement. everyone thinks you should get what they think is great, like a magnifier...i would have no use for that. i don't know why he's tell you to buy one even though you expressed no interest in anything other than a replacement for the standard eyecup.

i believe the product number is like EF EC10 or ... nevermind i completely forgot it...
