For such a small item, there is much debate over whether or not it is useful. After using it for a year on a Digital Rebel, I can confidently say that this extender does three things:
1. This makes the eyecup more convenient by spacing it away from the camera. You'll still rub your nose on the screen, but you won't have to jam your face up against the camera so hard anymore. Maybe people with small faces don't have this problem, but I do.
2. This reduces the size of the view. If you have trouble seeing all the corners of the view in addition to green info display at the bottom of the view, this makes it much easier to do so.
3. The reduced size of the view can aid composition. By seeing a smaller view, it gives the photographer a increased grasp over the "big picture", so while details will be harder to make out, larger aspects like lines and shapes became easier to frame.
This was great for me, but what I found when switching to a newer camera is that the extender no longer helped me. So now it's back on the Rebel, where it continues to make that camera easier to use.
The upshot of all this is, if you believe this extender might be useful for you, it is cheap enough to be worth the shot. It's hard to say whether or not each person will end up using it with each camera, but sometimes I find it provides benefits that I would miss without it.Get more detail about Canon EP-EX15 Eyepiece Extender for EOS Cameras.
