The Eyecoupler is a mere spacer or distant holder, 
no optical elements.

My OM sales folder from '78 states:

"Summary
This is a convinient unit to connect various 
components of the Finder Group to the 
viewfinder eye piece."

"Main Characteristics
For use of the Varimagni Finder in photomicrography,
thins unit fits in between the viewfinder eyepiece 
and the Varimagni Finder. It ensures full coverage 
of the finder field of view."

"The Eyecoupler is required when the Varimagni 
Finder is used in conjunction with Focusing 
Screen 1-12 for photomicrography."

"When the 250 Film Back is used together with the 
Eyecup 1, this unit is used to link them."
