This rubber frame fits around the various diopteric adjustments for the viewfinder of the Digital Rebel / Digital Rebel XT cameras.

Do note that it is NOT the "Eyecup EF"; it is the rubber frame from that eyecup, but without the plastic bit that attaches to the camera's viewfinder. That's a separate item entirely that costs about the same, but this one is intended for use with the diopteric adjustment pieces.

Please note that this is a standard rubber frame for the Canon EOs digital rebel series digital (and possibly manual) cameras-

Mine fell off of my Rebel XT and quite frankly it pisses me off that I have to squeeze out ten bucks to replace the thing.

You would think that this would be the thing to buy if the little rubber gasket had fallen off of your Digital Rebel XL.

You would be wrong.

In fact, I have absolutely no idea what this thing is. There's no way to interface this with the plastic frame that remains around my viewfinder. I ended up ripping the gasket off of this frame and affixing it to my Rebel. I'm left with a little chunk of plastic that I'm tossing in my camera bag, though I can't imagine what I'll ever do with it. But I just paid $10 for this thing, so I can't very well throw it away, or so goes the thinking.

If there's a source of rubber gaskets, go with that. If you don't mind tearing this up to get a gasket, then get this. Otherwise, this is not for you.

Was looking all over the net for the just the rubber cover for my XSI eyepiece frame when i stumbled over this. From pic looked just like the one I needed, however it was not the exact fit when i got it. I still kept it, as i needed something and was able to attach it to the eye frame somehow so that my eyes feel comfortable while looking through the viewfinder.

This is a ridiculous price for what it is. Even worse, I realized only after I got it that it's the frame to be used around dioptric lenses. It's not what you would get to replace the rubber piece around the stock eye cup. So, like an earlier reviewer, I had to pull off the gasket and put it onto my eyecup. Luckily it fits so it wasn't a complete waste and the end result was what I wanted.

I think I'm supposed to place it somewhere on the camera. Order was smoothe and arrived quickly. Now to figure out how to use it...
