Olympus ME-1 is supposed to fit, but there have been some comments here that it is not that good. I intend to have look through one fairly soon to see if it is worth buying.

There was a thread recently about modifiying a Pentax eyepiece.

being a total capitalist I have both the ME-1 and the Pentax

FWIW both improve things slightly, the Pentax O-ME53 is a slight improvement on the Olympus ME-1, mostly because there is a slight bit more eye relief. They are both about the same magnification. Personally anything that improves the dull poro finders is a good thing.

 

thing is you have to file stuff on the eyepiece to make it fit, so its not like it goes straight on

but it is only about a 15 minute job to take the rubber off the Pentax eyepiece, remove the optic, file the part to fit and re-assemble.

quite forgot to mention the Pentax cost about half that of the Olympus item

and is superior because it is slightly larger and has more eye relief

and the eye cup is larger and more comfortable

Olympus ME-1 : 5/16"

Pentax O-ME53 : 3/8 x 7/16"

If you wear glasses the ME-1 isn't that good due to the shape of the eyepiece. It holds your eye farther away from the viewfinder.
