Need eye piece - Genuine canon or not?

workaccount

Hi,
I'm having a look on ebay here and I'm finding it hard to even find an actual official Canon one to compare price but I wonder would the quality be as good with the likes of this http://cgi.ebay.ie/EyePiece-Eye-cup-Ef-For-Canon-1000D-450D-400D-350D-AG06_W0QQitemZ280315386562QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Photography_DigitalCamAccess_RL?hash=item280315386562&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318#ebayphotohosting


Looks like a good seller and professional. Does anybody have experience with no brand eye pieces? It's only 6 euro I know but still.

Hey thanks for reminding me, I need one too.
I would love advice on quality too.
Thanks!

Fajitas!

I'd say the third party one would be grand tbh. I think they're only a fiver in and about Dublin though?

Tbh, I've lost and rebought them so many times I've just given up

Advantages are?
I assume on of them would be that you don't grease up the LCD as much?
Best place to get one in Dublin?

Fajitas!

Only advantage for any eye piece is not scratching my glasses tbh, but my glasses more smudged when I am wearing 'em

If you're doing long exposures do you not remove the eye cup and cover the viewfinder with the rubber cap on the neck strap??

I've lost mine too.

I need one too - this must be a common issue with Canon models!
