I have heard that the Nikon eyepiece magnifer for the Nikon D200 will fit the Canon EOS cameras. I just bought a Rebel XTi and have the same problem as you. I made a trip to Seattle last weekend and Glazers had not received their shipment of those adapters yet. Back order or some such thing. I can't wait to try it to see if it improves the viewfinder. Goole Nikon DK-21M and see what you find out. It is a 1.2x or so. That, with the autofocus confirmation adaptor should be a real improvemnet.
