All:
Yesterday, Rose and I made a day trip to Kelowna (a 2 hour drive,
each way) to pick up more mat-board and other supplies for the
wildlife prints which I offer for sale. (www.telyt.com).
Kelowna is also the home of the only decent Pro-photo dealer in the
Interior of BC, Photography
West. http://www.photographywest.ca/ So we stopped in and, lo and
behold, they had Nikon's DK-21M in stock!
The Good part is that really does help manual focusing with the 30D..
and I can see all of the finder frame, even with my glasses -
although I normally take them off, to shoot.
The Bad part is that because it is sized to fit a Nikon (fair
enough!) it exposes the diopter adjustment wheel, making it easier to
accidentally change it. As well, it does not lock in place, as it
would on a Nikon, so I guess it could be more easily lost. (I'll work
on this bit and report if I come up with a solution.)
The Ugly part is that while it really does fit right on to the Canon
20D & 30D (& perhaps others), it truly does look ugly.
But, it's inexpensive, it works, and so I can live with the ugly.
Many thanks, to Aram, Bob and all the others who have suggested this route.
Cheers!
