Eyepiece extender for the 5D mark III?

Cunha — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 03:30:23 GMT

I´m looking for an eyepiece extender like the "Canon Eyepiece Extender EP-EX15", but for the 5D mark III.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Cunha

The 5D Mark III uses Eyecup Eg, I believe.

There is not an eyepiece extender made for use with cameras using that eyecup, AFAIK.

You are aware that the eyepiece extender reduces the size of the viewed image considerably and makes viewing sort of "tunnel-like"?

There are some third party viewfinder attachments offered. Perhaps one of those would work for whatever it is you want to do.

Thank you very much for your help.

All I want is to put my nose away from the LCD. I guess this a problem many others want to solve.

I´m aware of that tunnel efect ,-( but hopping that it would be not that bad, but I don´t know.

Any firther help, please.

Thanks.

Confirmation: it´s an Eg type of eyepice.

I only found a Dioptric Eg piece and an anti-fog Eg piece.

And the Angle C eyepiece.

No extender from Canon ,-( for 5D Mark III.

Maybe another brand, but I cannot find one.

The Angle Finder C is nice, but not something you will want to use all the time.

There probably are third party viewfinder magnifiers that will fit... But they also aren't something you are going to want to use all the time.

Really.... I'd just suggest getting used to the existing viewfinder and eyecup. Millions of people use them without a problem.

Great

I wonder what's the difference between EP-EX15 and EP-EX15 II

Cheers, Alex

The EP-EX15 II is slightly smaller so that it fits better on the smaller cameras.

B&H Photo sells both: EP-EX15 and EP-EX15 II (neither one will fit the 5D Mk III)

Right Mike .-)

The chinese piece works lovely.

Cheers.

It has been a while but for those who own a 7D/Mark II, 5D Mark III/Mark IV, 1D X/Mark II and other 1D series, we're looking at 3D printing the eyecup extender since JJC and Goja no longer makes them. Here is the post

I couldn't find anywhere an eyepiece extender for my 5DIII/IV.

I am tired of cleaning the rear LCD so I made one for myself. I will use it for the time being until I find a good one.

I found somewhere a piece of foam rubber. I cut it to shape. Made a hole and glue everything together with double sided tape and crazy glue.

For this project, I have to tear apart an old Canon original eye cup and made it as the base for clicking onto the camera. I used another Canon eye cup fixing it to the other end. Do not use cheap eye cup for viewing. The rubber material is not reliable and may cause harm to your eye(s).

There is no correctional lens and thus no magnification. Tunnel effect is minimum. You may find a thinner foam rubber which will improve the tunnel effect further.

I painted the foam rubber black to avoid reflection.

Then the rest is cosmetic.

Nice ,-) I gave up after using a chinese product.

Where to buy one ? My DIY is just for temporary use.
