Olympus EYECUP ME-1 MAGNIFIER

[ShepherdLady]

Hey Everyone,

Does anyone use this or know of anyone who has? I wear glasses and it is pretty hard for me to manually focus accurately. I was wondering if this would help me?

Also what is the trick to adjusting the diopter properly??

How long have you had your camera? When I first got mine, it took me about a week to get comfortable using the sightglass as a glasses wearer.

I've had it for quite a long time now. But I have some other eye problems besides just having to wear glasses. So it makes it difficult for me to get a good focus.

I was able to dig this up on youtube. It might help you decided if you want to buy it.

Thanks Foxcow. I check those out that you posted and read some other reviews. It looks like it is a mixed bag. Some like it and many thought it was a total waste of money.

And the Youtube video's just didn't seem to me like it made that much of a difference.

No problem. Its harder to tell on the second video but in the first one, there is a substantial difference. At least I think so.
