Simply necessary
Simply a necessity if you do not like to bang your nose in to the LCD screen and to leave smudges - unless you have a really big nose !

Simply a necessity if you do not like to bang your nose in to the LCD screen and to leave smudges - unless you have a really big nose !
Go for it !
Note: will not fit XTi,20D, 30D, 40D and the latest 50D.
If you have one of these, you will need the same part number but without the extension of the roman two.
For these cameras check the EP-EX15 Eyepiece Extender.

Significantly smaller than the EP-EX15
Compared to the EP-EX15, this extender is smaller overall. When added between the body (of a 30D or 40D) and the eyecup, this piece is quite a bit smaller than the eyecup. <...Read complete review
Compared to the EP-EX15, this extender is smaller overall. When added between the body (of a 30D or 40D) and the eyecup, this piece is quite a bit smaller than the eyecup.
The EP-EX15 sits flush to the body as well as the eyecup but the EP-EX15 II seems to be just too small. Seems to function identically between the two versions.
If asthetics is a concern, you may want to consider the EP-EX15 if you have a 30D or 40D.

Comments about EP-EX15 II Eyepiece Extender for Select Canon DSLRs:
For me this eyepiece is a tremendous help, it makes it easier to use the viewfinder, and works better with the dioptric adjustment on the camera. It also does not seem to reduce the viewing area within the viewfinder.

Comments about EP-EX15 II Eyepiece Extender for Select Canon DSLRs:
I use the extender on my Canon Rebel XS and it works wonders! Very easy setup to install on your viewfinder and adapts to the eyepiece already in place from the factory. I wouldn't recommend adapting 2 of them together as it minimizes the view in the viewfinder before you photograph.

Comments about EP-EX15 II Eyepiece Extender for Select Canon DSLRs:
Perfect for keeping my nose off the LCD screen. I also didn't like the reduced view through the extender as some others have stated. So I opened it up, removed the two internal plastic magnification pieces and screwed the extender back together. Very easy mod. Now it's perfect. Same view as the cameras viewfinder and no more nose smudges!

Comments about EP-EX15 II Eyepiece Extender for Select Canon DSLRs:
The installation was beyond simple, works as promised. Had trouble with smudging on my screen before (despite average proboscis),now drastically reduced. Almost impossible to use glasses with camera before, now very comfortable.
Gives camera a pro look. The reduction in view finder magnification may be an issue for some people, haven't found it to be a problem for me while using my zoom or fixed lenses. If it is a problem you can remove the guts of it and just use as an extension. B+H is unbeatable for price&service, no competition up here in Canada. Blazing fast delivery, no hassles, highly recommended.

Comments about EP-EX15 II Eyepiece Extender for Select Canon DSLRs:
This extender fits perfectly on a T3i and keeps me from feeling like I'm mashing my nose against a piece of glass when using the viewfinder. The change in magnification takes a little getting used to but your eye adjusts with experience.

Comments about EP-EX15 II Eyepiece Extender for Select Canon DSLRs:
The EX15 II eyepiece extender is a must have item, especially for eyeglass wearers. The additional millimeters gained by attaching the extender may seem insignificant at first, but after using it for a bit, you'll be surprised at the difference it makes not only in comfort, but in your ability to precisely determine focus as well. Highly recommended for Canon DSLR users.

Comments about EP-EX15 II Eyepiece Extender for Select Canon DSLRs:
The thing I've never liked about SLR cameras was the fact that I had to "smash" my face against the back of the camera in order to get my eye close enough to the viewfinder to view, not only what I will be photographing, but also the camera information displayed inside the viewfinder. With this extender, I can comfortably hold the camera to my eye without 'greasing up' the back of the camera, or pushing on my nose

Helps keep your nose from being pressed against the camera screen area. View is compressed, but information from viewfinder is still in sight.

Comments about EP-EX15 II Eyepiece Extender for Select Canon DSLRs:
Many reviewers of this item commented on the fact that it kept their noses off the LCD. If that's all you want, I guess it's a fine product. I got it because as an eyeglass wearer, I couldn't see all the viewfinder contents at once. The extender solved that problem (almost) - it brought all but the extreme corners into view. But the 30% shrinkage of the image was too much. An image that was too small to begin with became miniscule, and a little barrel-distorted to boot. So for me, it's no dice.

If you have a Canon T2i or similar model buy this little accessory so you can stop smashing your face against the LCD screen when you take pictures. Works equally well if you are wearing glasses or sunglasses.
