A must have for users of manual focus lenses
Three positive aspects of adding this magnifying eyecup to your Pentax DSLR.
1. The rubber eyecup is better quality and more comfortable than the original.
2. Additional magnification, though slight, helps with manual focus precision a great deal without causing other issues.
3. Your nose won’t be smashed against the rear LCD screen of the camera anymore.Read full review...

Works great
Suits the purpose, works great. 1 star down for not being weather resistant like other Pentax products nowadays. Yes the rain got between the two lenses. Although, it is relatively easy to dissasemble and clean. Just remember the positions of lenses to get it back right.Read full review...

Great for MF Glass
Great little adapter for Pentax DSLRs. Much easier to acquire focus with manual focus lenses. It does vignette the OVF some on APSC cameras and quite a bit on Full Frame. But its super simple to take off if need be. Highly recommended for manual focus glass.Read full review...

The easier and cheapest way to improve visibility and manual focusing
Just remove the original eyecup, replace it easily attaching this one and instantly have a magnified image of the camera's optical viewfinder.
Photo-framing and manual focusing are considerably facilitated.
The only disadvantage is that it is more difficult to see all the information available on the screen at once, in a single glimpse.
The eye has to travel a little bit over this, but the benefits of more accurate manual focusing and improved vision of the scene details definitely outweigh this little inconvenience.Read full review...

Not bad, almost neccessary for manual lenses
I bought this for the K3. Even after downloading the newest firmware I still had difficulty with accurately focusing mf lenses. After recieving this I was again focusing manual focus lenses properly. The worst part is that the eyepieve is plastic, but I expected that. Best part about this is that I can see all of the frame in the finder.Read full review...

Must have for k-1
This eyecup just slides into place on the Pentax k-1 to replace the stock eyecup. Its a huge upgrade and It makes a big difference for me with focusing. The whole view is still visible including settings. It magnifies enough to help but not too much to distort. I like it a lot.Read full review...

A MUST if manual focusing
If you are manual focusing vintage lenses this is an invaluable tool. Spot on sharpness. But as they say even with this you should still take an extra set of pictures and even vary the f stop and speed.
Highly recommended.Read full review...

Works well with a Pentax K-1
Works well with Pentax APS-C and Full-frame cameras. It gives my K-1 a slightly larger focusing screen without cutting off the view of the corners in the viewfinder.
Since the eyecup is longer than the standard one, I enjoy the added eye relief as well.Read full review...

Better view
Very helpful for focusing when I use my K-1 with old manual focus prime lenses.
