My post was actually the answer to yours..
Zacuto says it works on a 7D.

Yep, Zacuto has confirmed it, plus just about everyone who has shot with the 7D up to this point (Bloom, Magbauna et al, Chung) has used it. It definitely works.
lol... I must really need to sleep more, well, who cares, the answer is yes and that's what matters :grin:
Has anyone fitted it with an eye cup better suited for cold weather? It can be replaced right?

Eyecup can be replaced. If by "better suites" you mean anti-fog, Zacuto has a kit they sell for it. http://store.zacuto.com/Clarity-Fog-Eliminator-3-Pack.html Just a pack of wipes with magical anti-fog power that you wipe on the element.
I read a post on cinema5d of someone trying to make their own cheaper version of the z finder by taking a regular schneider loupe from B&H and rigging it to work with the 5d.
When he got it working it cost almost $300. That post convinced me that the z finder is not over priced.

the sockloupe isn't a solid built housing like the z-finder or the hoodloupe, so its not possible to use as a point of contact. its internal housing is a couple of metal rods.

The sockloupe left a a lot to be desired, IMO.
I love the Z-finder.

WOW! So if the fabric fails in a trip and fall accident... METAL RODS... IN MY EYES!
Yeah I'm thinkin the Zacuto is the only legit game, how ever overpriced, lets hope some one will compete and swing the prices a little in our favor.

Okay, not to rain on anyone's parade here, but the Zacuto Z-Finder is not "overpriced." It's a professional tool built to perform in any conditions.
It may be too expensive for some, but that doesn't make it "overpriced."

LOL umm... I was reffering to my...uhhh...3D setup, yeah that's it 3DEye not eyes. You'll likely only lose one eye. Stop being a p---y.

Then don't use it.
When you start making money with your DSLR, you'll find that it is worth every penny to maintain critical focus when it matters.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but it IS overpriced.
Since it's almost the only game in town, then sure, if you need it, you'll pay for it.
But selling a close-up lens, a plastic tube, an eyecup and a few fittings for the same price as a brand new 50mm f1.4 AF lens is ridiculous.
