C-Cup: Improving the C100 Viewfinder
Any C100 user is all too aware how frustrating the EVF is to use on the camera, mostly because it feels as though Canon purposefully designed the eye cup surround to be uncomfortable as well as impractical. I’ve posted before that I’ve resorted to various attachments to make using the EVF a better experience but none of the solutions have really been designed to do the job properly, that is until now!
I was recently contacted by Andrew Miller who asked me if I’d like to try out a prototype C100 eye cup he’s been working on. The prototype works very well indeed and transforms using the C100’s EVF in to a much more useful and pleasant experience. As well s being very comfortable the C-cup also fits the face nicely and blocks out surrounding light sources.
If you’re interested in using a C-Cup on your own C100 then you need to head over to Andrews C-Cup Kickstarter page and back the project. If a minimum of $8,500 is pledged within the next 29 days then the C-Cup will be available to all. It would be a real shame if this product doesn’t come to market as it really works well.

I’ve been looking for one of these in the UK and can’t find any reseller stocking them. However, they are available from the US via ebayer seller texasmediasystems. Bear in mind the cost of delivery and customs charges too.

I am looking to order this but there is no way I can find it anywhere online, any ideas/link you could share?
Cheers
Is it worth the effort, the EVF on the C100 is useless.
I’m not sure I’d agree its useless Philip, it’s certainly not as good as say the C300’s EVF but it is possible to nail focus and compose a shot with it.
