Olympus Magnifier Eyecup ME-1
Here’s a short press release that Olympus released yesterday. This little accessory seems to attach to the viewfinder of the E-500 and E-300 and magnifies the view by 1.2 times.
I don’t know how useful that would be… but the say that it will improve ease of use.
Hamburg, 9 November 2005 – The new Olympus Magnifier Eyecup ME-1 increases the viewfinder performance of the recently-launched E-500 by providing views 1.2 times larger than normal. It also fits on the E-500’s forerunner – the digital SLR E-300. Simply attach the eyecup magnifier in place of the standard eyecup and enjoy bigger views of subjects. Ease of use is thereby significantly enhanced during focusing and framing. The eyecup incorporates two lenses and measures 40 x 30 x 12mm. This very helpful accessory will be available from December 2005.
