Viewfinder Magnifier For Canon 5D
Hi guys!
I have a Canon 5D and was wondering if anyone could recommend a viewfinder magnifier that might fit it? I shoot landscapes, using both a 17-40 L and 70-200 L lenses.
Regards,
Fergal.

Anyone have any info here?
You can buy magnifiying glasses which many use for doing close work - I don't know if they would work on a camera but is the back screen not clear enough for you?
Type in Magnifying glasses on Amazon - they have a wide variety.

I’ll try those but the 5D Mark 1 has no live view capacity.

Thanks David,
However, I’m not familiar with that. What exactly does it do?😀

It covers the screen and has a 3x magnifier in the eyecup

Hello again David,
The viewfinder loupe might be better as the 5D Mark 1 has no live view capacity.😀

I see! I googled it and thought it required live view.
live view was not around when this was first launched.
This is the Rolls Royce of these type of systems.

Excellent! Thanks again! If they fit, then I’ll probably order one of those!😀
Another option, and much more affordable, is a page reader for a book, available from any good Opticians 
Perhaps if you describe why you want to magnify the viewfinder image? The Canon Angle Finder does allow you to magnify 1.25x to 2.5x (the higher mag at the expense of only being able to see a small part of the viewfinder image).
Or there is something like this Eyepiece Magnifier
Using something that magnifies the LCD screen is only going to be suitable after the image has been taken for viewing the preview image.
