Does not fit glasses

The optical system in front of the EM5 EVF vignettes the whole image quite sharply as the distance between the eye and the EVF increases. Unfortunately, the extra rubber band on the EP-11 eyecup results in enough distance that vignetting is quite significant. Without glasses you can put your eye in a cup to reduce vignetting, but you can't with glasses. When purchasing an ep-11, I advise you to take good care of the original ep-10 eyepiece - it's almost impossible to find in stock and you may…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Weak, poor design, easy to remove

I wanted to isolate the EVF in sunny weather so it was perfect although I think the cameras come with it as an optional option and for $24 should it is plagiarism. It works out?

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later

The EP-11 is inserted and snapped into place in the same way. Some reviewers on DPReview.com say it's easy to remove, but I ran out of that in two weeks when I picked up my camera bag and took it out. As long as it actually snaps into place, it should stay in place. My main problem with this is that

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Big and Chunky
