Absolutely correct. I notice 1 - 2 stops difference if my eye is close or
away from the viewfinder. I had (still have) an eyecup 1, but it broke. A
lot. So I got an eyecup 2 for each of my bodies. I'm a touch disappointed.
They do not limit the backlight as much as the old type, but you can open
the film back without removing them (big deal). I always move my eye away
from and towards the viewfinder to check for backlight affecting the
reading.
