Best and comfortable eyepiece magnifier i using

Most of the people have eyepiece magnifier. Because of Sony din produce such thing, so our alpha mount with Nikon, Canon, Pentax, and Olympus.
But perfect fit only Nikon DK-21m and Pentax O-ME53, other than dat, there are need to DIY ti mount in, Nikon DK17m, Canon EP-EX15, Olympus ME-1

According to the price, line up from expensive to cheapest: Olympus ME-1 RM180, Nikon DK-17m RM130, Canon EP-EX15 RM100, Pentax O-ME53 RM125, Nikon DK-21m RM88.
The Best quality it's Olympus ME-1 and nikon DK17m..... and of coz the price... expensive and need to DIY in order to fit in alpha.

Well, since i have modified ME-1, when i used it i found out kinda pain for my eye lip every time i used it, so i decide to modify an eyecup for it. Unfortunately Olympus EP-2 eyecup was old and hard to find in current market coz it only for Olympus E-1. So at last i get a DK-19 rubber eyecup from Nikon, It's not suit but i can modify it yet again... :twisted: :twisted: During the modification, i found out Nikon DK-19 rubber eyecup made by top grade rubber material, therefore impossible for just stick it because it will come off again.... So I decided to BURN it :twisted: !! In order to make sure it secure, i melt the corner of the eyecup with fill some special glue to stick it well.

Until today, I have exchange my another extra ME-1 with Nikon DK-17m and yet again modified with same way as my ME-1.
Nikon DK-17m attached with alpha 100 and Olympus ME-1 place on the bottom.
Both was the best and comfortable eyepiece magnifier i ever used. Greatly helpful for my Focusing Screen to focus.
