There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
That prompted me to look into something better - but not something that had the OEM price tag attached. I settled on this one (the Hoodman), after reading the reviews.
This eyecup uses a different attachment method than both my previous cheap one and the Nikon one. It's a little tough to get on (more on that later), but fits snugly and securely.
A nice difference I found between this and others is that the rubber eye piece actually turns as advertised. Not so easily that it will turn on its own, but easy enough that one can grab it anywhere and turn it easily enough.
As to the installation itself, the eyecup comes with simple instructions, but I found it wasn't as easy to install as the instructions led me to believe. First, getting both rails on evenly, and the bottom retainer ridge, seems near impossible. In the end, I managed to get one side rail in place, but the eyepiece not all the way seated (not all the way down). After that, I rotated up the other side until it cleared the rail on the camera, and then slid it into place. Once it was on, I pushed the whole eyepiece down, and the bottom clip locked into place.
Now, the important thing is, during this whole exercise of pushing, sliding and putting pressure on it, at no time did the plastic feel cheap, stressed, or like it was going to break - a welcome change from the eye piece I upgraded from.
If you aren't going to go "true Nikon/Canon/Sony/etc", then I'd suggest also NOT going "uber cheap" and instead spend the extra money on one of these.
Hoodman makes two designs - one "square" (ie: rectangular) and one round. Both fit a variety of the applicable cameras (for instance, the Nikon D90 and D7100 are 22mm "square" - other cameras have a round attachment point for eye pieces). They also make them in different sizes. Make sure you order the correct one - they have a compatibility guide on their website. You can find the link to it in the "Questions" section of this product page.

FINAL NOTES:
*
As with all eye pieces of this sort, it *will* obscure part of the view of fixed LCD screens on various cameras (such as many Nikon fixed LCD screens). If that's a concern, then this eyepiece, or any other like it, is not for you.
*
If it seems that the image in the viewfinder is being cut off, this might help you out. On my D7100, the round inside tube (the one you look through) just matches the corners of the viewing glass's plastic housing.
--> If it seems that the tube is cutting your vision in the corners, adjust the diopter setting on your camera. <--
I've got no problems with mine, once properly set - while others with the same series camera have.
*
Do NOT expect this to be an easy eye piece to swap quickly in the field. If that's what you are looking for, then perhaps the cheapo ones, or a differently designed one is best for you. Once this is on, yeah, it'll come off - but with time and effort. No quick removal.
*
If you are new to these, it may benefit you to know that the larger flange like part of the rubber eye cup (the part that presses against the outside edge of your face) is not necessarily supposed to be directly on the right (or left) like shown in the stock photo for this item.
Play with it until you position it correctly for *your* face - in my case, I found a 35 degree downward angle makes the eye cup fit best.
FINAL NOTE:
I use this with OR without glasses, and it works wonderfully either way.
I have two negatives, both have been mentioned before. This covered part of the LCD. It can be either turned up to view on you can simply view around it, but it is annoying at first. Second, with the hood attached, the LCD screen can not be swung out. If you pivot the screen out for some of your shots, as I do, you will either have to remove the eyecup each time or at least slide it up a some to pivot out.
There is a work around that I like. I filed the bottom radius from the hard plastic mount, reinstalled the rubber and clipped it back on the camera. The screen still hits the rubber with pivoted out, but it is workable. Try it at your own risk, but I think it will work well for me.
For cameras that don't have pivoting screens, such as D7100 or D7200, this should be no issue at all.
