andrew den bakker Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I have used my trustworthy T90 for many years. Recently I have lost the rubber-edged eyepiece which slots in front of the viewfinder. Although it doesn't interfere much with using the camera, I'd like to replace it. The problem is finding a replacement - anyone with any suggestions where (& how?) I can get one? Thanks, Andrew den Bakker (NL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h._p. Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I may be wrong but I think I saw somewhere that it's the same unit that fits an EOS - if so, you're dealer should be able to get you one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_roberts Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 They are rare and expensive beasts to buy, say 50 to 100 dollars on eBay. As far as I know the EOS series of eye cups do not fit the T90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awahlster Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 The EOS eyecups will fit the T90 with a tiny amount of surgery to allow the viewfinder shutter lever clearance. A MUCH BETTER and cheaper alt. is to use the A series eyecup which will fit nice and tight on to the T90 frame and won't come off. PS I found a t90 eyecup in a box at a local show got it along with an A series cup for just $5.00 put it on my T90 went street shooting with a friend after lunch and within two hours it had fallen off never to be found again THEY ARE CURSED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14mm 2.8l Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 All F series(except F-1)& all A series camera body eyecups will attach to the viewfinder of the T-90. Not a correct option but it will provide you a comfortable Canon brand eyecup for shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvp Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Yes to both the older A-series eyecup, which will work very well, and to at least some of the EOS eyecups. I've got an EOS eyecup on my T90 (don't know which one; it was there when I bought it.) The viewfinder shutter lever is mostly covered but not totally so, so it's all usable.

davpress Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 EOS 1n is the one that Alan is talking about. Looks like the original one, just a bit larger.Also fits tighter, thus harder to loose. Got mine for $17.99 including shipping from Calmeta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david godfrey Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 The Pentax Spotmatic eyecups will fit the T-90 and other A-series cameras perfectly (I use a Pentax angle finder with no problem). I've seen several generic eyecups that fit several manufacturers cameras. Jessops in the UK do one. It wraps around the eye, so those of us with glasses must cut it down (hardly difficult). Adorama advertise a Canon FD one for $7, which looks the same to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerrySiegel Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I guess the T90 eyecups were a loose fit. My two used T90s were cupless,naturally. I took it to the Canonlady my buddy and she plucked an EOS 1n cup from her drawer and said try this,- and it slides over the channels with just a little tilt where the plastic has to lift up over the eyepiece shutter,but not a problem in two years. Actually I like the trapezoidal EOS one better than the squarish shape of the original ( I got an original/more or less by buying a diopter eyescreen and plucking out the glass sliver.so I can compare same).. A lady in LA on a forum said the going price late '02 is about 18.00 for an EOS 1n and about $30.00 from a shop that has a small stock of original diopters. She tried both and agreed with my conclusions (see above.) Don't pay avaricious prices for this part I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john___3 Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Try to find a diopter eyepiece for the T90 (even if you don't need one); they come with an eyecup. Remove the glass and pop the eyecup on your T90. That's how I got mine. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
