Well, half of my "poor eye sight/viewfinder aids" has arrived.  The Nikon 
eyepiece magnifier fits the Canon Rebel XTi perfectly.  I readjusted the 
diopter setting and the tunnel vision effect of the small viewfinder is 
gone.  Nice large view and w/o glasses I can see all the screen and the 
readout.  Not sure with glasses as I don't use them except for close up 
stuff.  it sticks out about 0.5cm further than the OEM eyecup.  While the 
view is indeed larger and psychologically better, it is still not focusable 
reliably for me.  It just lacks any punch.  There is no snap in and out of 
focus like there is on my R8.  So, I do recommend this magnifier to those 
using the Canon produces (it only costs $25) but it alone did not solve my 
problem.  I await delivery of the EOS adapter with focus confirmation.  The 
person in China said it would take two weeks and it has only been one so 
far.
