Nikon eypiece magnifier works on Sony Alpha 300/350 August 4, 2008
M. Tandon (SF Bay Area)
I bought this magnifier for my Sony A300 after reading about it on the Sony SLR forum at dpreview. It offers a small but meaningful improvement to the smallish Sony eyepiece. I am happy with this product.
Useful focus aid July 20, 2008

A little magnification of the ocular aids precise focusing. Automatic focusing not always does the best job, manual focusing is sometimes necesary. I installed it on my D80 without problems.
works on canon rebel xt also... April 19, 2008

This magnifier works on the Canon Rebel XT and in my opinion is probably the best usable magnification you can get in this category of devices (I originally thought of getting a straight 2.3x viewfinder magnifier, but after several posts of unusably dark view, I ditched the idea). It fits the Rebel XT pretty snugly. The magnification is perceptible but not earth shattering. The viewfinder image didn't suffer a noticable loss of light. With Rebel X*'s small viewfinder, every bit of magnification might be worth it. But it won't be enough for a precise manual focus.
Without glasses on, you can exactly see both the frame and the info bar below it. With glasses on, you can just about see the entire frame, but if you peer to see the info bar, you lose some portion of the top of the frame (image center is still there).
This also brings the eye piece a bit forward, so your nose isn't entire squished against the LCD.
Nikon users may fume at a review of a part meant for Nikon cameras used on a Canon body, but I felt the review could be useful for Canon users considering this part. Nikon has made a good part with no Canon equivalent, but very much usable on a Canon body.
Magnifier helps manual focus February 25, 2008

I purchased this magnifier to improve my ability to manually focus my D70 camera with older AI lenses. I would recommend it for anyone who owns a D70, D70S or D50, as they all suffer from "tunnel-view" syndrome. I also purchased a split image focus screen from a company on eBay, and the combination of these two items has greatly improved the ease of manual focus. Not as good as a F2 (or even an FM) viewfinder, but a lot better than stock.
Nikon DK-21M Eyepeice December 17, 2007

Unit is OK. But it needs some type of cup that will keep stray light out of the users eyes
