Customer Reviews of Olympus AS-ME-1 Eyecup Magnifier for the EVOLT E-300 & EVOLT E-500
Olympus eyecup magnifier I like this product and it serves its purpose but could I have lived with out it? Yes. I don't notice a huge change in the view.
I like It
I just turned 45 and had to get my first set of glasses, Ugh!
<
>I could see just fine with my glasses without it, but now with it. I don't need my glasses. I haven't gotten accustomed to glasses yet, so this little jewel is great for me. The LCD is large enough for me without glasses, so this is perfect for me. However, if you need glasses to see the lcd then this won't do you any good. Just keep the glasses on :)
Helpful in some ways (actual rating=3.5)
As others have previously observed, the perceived effectiveness of the ME-1 does seem to depend upon whether or not one wears glasses. I would add that it also appears to depend upon exactly what type of correction the glasses make. It may be more effective for people with a prescription for nearsightedness than for those with one for farsightedness (or vice versa).

>My astigmatism makes the results a little quirky. My first few exposures after mounting the ME-1 were decidedly out of focus! It took me a while to figure out what was happening. Apparently, the lens elements in the ME-1, when combined with my perscription were causing me to see the central focusing dot on my E500 in the center of the frame, when that dot was actually focused up and to the right of center about 20% of the way along a line drawn from the center dot to the upper right corner of the frame!

>In other words, when using the ME-1, for *some* glasses wearers, there may be a parallax factor which needs to be taken into account. You just need to be aware of this and take some practice shots to verify that your camera is actually focusing on what you think it is BEFORE doing any serious shooting.

>The 20% magnification factor's biggest advantage to me has been when using older lenses (of all types) which must be focused (and stopped down) manually; but, it is just as helpful with auto-focus lenses in those situations when the auto-focus needs to be overridden.
