Without ME1

With ME1

For those who not sure if need to get ME1 for their Olympus DSLR, please see the difference above.

above image straight from cellphone without any editing.

Image taken at the closer focusing distance possible to get a fair result.

The view is around 20% bigger with ME1.
But somehow because the opening is so small, for me it's like having a "pinhole" effect when looking through it.

I got the pentax magnifier with an adapter for the olympus eyepiece.

Haven't tried the ME-1 so can't compare, but the image definitely is bigger (1.18X supposedly). Slightly easier to focus but there is some distortion towards the corners. Also, you have to shift your eye to view the status indicators. Sometimes I use it, sometimes I don't. It also sticks out almost 1 cm from the back of the camera which hasn't actually caused any problems yet but is still not ideal.
