bigger eyecup on a 400d

[McBunny]

does anyone have or has used a bigger eye cup for teh 400d is there even one that will work with it ??

I dont think that there is anything other than the standard size, the only thing I have seen is a digital screen that is put over the eye piece to give it that point and shoot effect, but they are quite expensive.

Why you looking for one?

 

[McBunny]

i hope i would then be able to wear my glasses when shooting rather than having to keep taking them off and maybe keep my nose out of teh way a bit more lol

 

[SteveC047]

AHHHHH Right I get you. I think that there is an extension version that sits around 15mm further away from the camera,

not a bad price eaither, I get all my stuff from the shop in Chelmsford and they really know what they are talking about.

 

[McBunny]

hmm i read that it also makes teh viewfinder image 30% smaller my have to give it a go

I've got that extender and I wouldn't be without it now. Before I felt like my nose and cheek were squashed against the back of the camera. It's a lot more comfortable now. Not sure it extends enough to clear glasses though!

 

[SteveC047]

I have heard that as well, never really needed to use one like that, but I do find that when taking images when it is sunny I struggle to focus correctly when I take my sun glasses off due to the brightness.

At the end of the day its not a huge amount to spend and if it makes your life a little easier I would say its worth every penny.

Oh on another note Mcbunny how you getting on with the new lenses, I have been pricing up a Tamron 18-200 Lense recently and as of yet havent been able to get any real unbias opinons on the quality. What lense did you get in the end?

 

[McBunny]

think i will give it ago maybe try this with it too http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...egory=15215&ssPageName=STORE:PROMOBOX:NEWLIST

 

[McBunny]

so far only the kit one 50mm f1.8 and a 75-300 that i "borrowed" from work that lense isnt very good i wont be buying any lenses for a bit till i have got to grips with the camera today i ordered the lense hood a uv filter and circular polarising filter for the 50mm lense

 

[SteveC047]

Cool cool. I have a couple of filters still in there cases, just havent got round to using them yet.

What filters have you bought, I ended up spending waaaaay to much money on the HOYA filters, after the guy in the shop showed me some examples of the images he had taken with his 400d and kit lense.

 

[McBunny]

erm hoya g series they are the cheapest hoya i think paid 6 for the uv and 14 for the polarising one also got the hood for the kit lense for £7.15 !
