karl_lehmann Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Has anyone found a large rubber eyecup to fit the 5D? I am looking for somethingto block stray light when using DOF preview at small apertures. UnfortunatelyCanon only offers the original type which is more decorative thanfunctional.<P>Karl Lehmann<br><ahref="http://www.lostworldarts.com/new_page_3.htm">Lost World Arts</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlos_miami Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I really need one of these, and I would love to order one but their website keeps crashing both my browers, Firefox and IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyDigs Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Site works fine on Safari. Sheesh, those guys carry all the stuff we lose: eyecups and battery doors! I was going to say I heard the oly dslr large eyecup fits but the generic is only $5.95 so what the hay! Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savas_kyprianides Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 The page linked to is loaded with stuff. Exactly which eyecup is everyone getting? I want in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savas_kyprianides Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 btw - I need it to prevent stray light from obscuring the viewfinder data when shooting with the sun behind or besides me. I once thought my viewfinder data was dim until I cupped my hand by the camera and forehead and blocked the interfering light. It was easy to read after that, except now I had only one hand holding the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savas_kyprianides Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Okay, I figured it out. I hope it does the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savas_kyprianides Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Whas it 3 stooges or Abbot and Costello whereby someone put ink on the eyecup and encouraged others to peer through it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
