Works.

Very good at isolation of the eye''s view from the environment. Helps concentration on the photo.

An Olympus item rebranded by Leica. Works with M240

This original Olympus electronic viewfinder works perfectly on my Leical M240. The eyecup allows the 400 mm Leitz telyt to be easily focused in bright light when employed on the M 240 as an SLR would. Wow.. what a view.

Great addition to the VF-2 viewfinder

Relative easy to install once you line up the notches. Does a nice job of blocking out extraneous light.

Works great once it's installed

I should dock this rating by 1/2 star, but can't. The 1/2 star comes off because the eyecup is difficult to install and requires a lot of strength from elderly hands. To install it, you take off the original rubber ring that comes with the VF-2 and try to stretch the DP-9 to fit over the rotating eyepiece. The DP-9 has a mark to line up the mark on the VF-2 (for zero optical compensation), but who knows how well it's still lined up after struggling with the installation. Once it's installed, it's great. I tested it outside at 8:30 in the morning when the sun was still low in the sky and directly at my back. You can exclude all sunlight by pressing the cup directly against your eye for superb visualization of the subject. I also tested it when sunlight is coming in from the side (which is worse than when coming in directly from the back) and it still excludes all sunlight. This is a must addition to the VF-2.

Necessary Accessory

There is not an eyecup that comes with this viewfinder. This eyecup helps you to seal out light when viewing. Also so you don't accidentally bump your eye directly into the glass dioptor on the viewfinder. This could happen.

What should have been from the start

This is used on an Olympus E-P2 and I can see the difference in the pictures I take when I use it. The compisition is better and the subject is more focused(attention wise - not actual focus) in the total picture
