I would say the reading would be off by as much as half a stop if one is not
quite cautious under circumstances where there is in particular very strong
over-the-shoulder side light. But I'm happy with the performance of eyecup
2 in all circumstances. For me it's much more comfortable than the eyecup
1. I actually put an eyecup 2 without correction on my OM-4T because it
improved my ability to line up my eye to the finder.
Something for everybody with Oly. <G>
