Somehow the one that came with the camera slipped off--and this one clicked on so nice and secure. Really appreciated that it arrived sooner than expected!
Since I wear glasses, I really need to have this piece on the camera (OM-D EM5 mk11). Several times I have lost the piece, in the field, while carrying the camera. They just fall off too easily in my opinion. I buy them in multiples now. A design change to make the mounting more robust would be nice. Some have suggested gluing the piece to the camera, but this just seems wrong to me.
This is the standard eyecup that comes with the OM-D E-M5 Mark II, and is reasonably good at blocking outside light from the viewfinder view so long as you don't wear glasses. You'd be better off with the larger EP-16 if you wear glasses or need your to set your eye back further from the viewfinder than normal. The worst thing about it is that it pops off easily. At this point I've lost 2 eyecups, so I've bought 2 replacements this time around so as to stock up.
It is an eyecup - what can I say? These are not expensive and having a replacement in your camera bag could be convenient since if the original one that came with the camera is lost, you can't go into any local store and expect to find one.
This thing fell off the first day I used the camera, but I found it then and the next time, and the next. Should have glued it. It disappeared, and the replacement cost seemed absurd, given that the replacement would be as flimsy. So I delayed ordering another, finally did. The night before the replacement arrived, as I worked a classical music concert, somehow the optical eyepiece was broken. I knew better than to leave it unprotected, but the replacement cost, close to $ for a piece of poorly designed junk, was hard to swallow. Now I'll be paying whatever usurious price Olympus demands for the eyepiece. Very poor corporate judgment, in my humble.
Just the basic OEM. So no thrill, no fuss, not comfortable and so easy to use. Buy a few ahead of time. Somewhat better with than without it. Only choise if you wear prescription glasses.
About as low-profile as you can get for an eyecup for the EM5 ii. Real Olympus brand.
This smaller eyecup has two advantages over the big sticky-outy one I used to use: 1. You can get close enough with glasses on to see the whole frame, and 2. the camera hangs better flat against your body when small lenses are mounted.
