I don't think the extender does any magnification. In fact, it reduces the
magnification. On a full frame camera that is no big deal. On a crop format
camera it is. It is hard enough to see the viewfinder as is, but by reducing it
even further, I would think it would make it much harder to focus. My friend
with the 5Dm2 has one. It lets him see the full frame with his glasses. As I
stated previously, when he tried my Nikon magnifier, he could not see the full
frame with his glasses. I did not try his extender on my Rebel.

Look around on Google. The purpose is for eyeglass users to see the whole
viewfinder. It reduces the image by 30%, so if you are looking for a focusing
aid, this is not what you want.

Guys, try the eye piece extender for Canon. It helps me to see the full frame
on my 5Dm2 and focusing on my Leica R glasses with adaptor is a lot easier.
It's a cheap $10 modification so no harm trying it. My cheap China AF
confirmation chip is pretty fast even without stopping down. I got a 35 n 50
crons f2 and a 50 luv f1.4
