Product Information
Full details
The Think Tank EP-20 Eyepiece is designed for outdoor photographers, particularly wildlife and sports enthusiasts, who need to shoot in adverse weather conditions. Its primary benefit is enabling continuous shooting in the rain when paired with Think Tank's Hydrophobic Covers. A potential caveat is that it requires separate purchase of the Hydrophobic Covers to achieve its full weather-sealing potential. This premium quality eyepiece is compatible with select Canon and Olympus cameras and is built for both amateur and professional use.

Troubleshooting
Eyepiece does not fit securely
Verify that your camera model is listed as compatible with the EP-20. Ensure no obstructions are present on the camera's eyepiece mount. Try re-aligning and applying gentle pressure until it clicks into place.
Fogging inside the eyepiece
Ensure the eyepiece is dry and free from moisture before attaching. If fogging occurs, remove the eyepiece and lens, and allow them to acclimatize to ambient temperature in a dry environment.
Difficulty seeing through the viewfinder
Check that the EP-20 is correctly seated. Ensure the camera's diopter adjustment is set properly for your vision. If using with a Hydrophobic Cover, ensure the cover is not obstructing the view.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The EP-20 Eyepiece is designed to easily attach to compatible camera models. Ensure your camera model is listed in the product specifications. It typically snaps into place over the camera's existing viewfinder eyepiece. For full weather protection, the Think Tank Hydrophobic Cover must be purchased separately and fitted over the camera and lens, with the EP-20 aligning to create a sealed interface.

Care: Clean the eyepiece gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material. Store in a dry place when not in use.
