M6 rubber eyecup

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

Hello all, and apologies if this has been widely discussed. I seem unable to search the archives at present. Is it possible to cook up some sort of rubber eyepiece for an M6? Do any of the nikon ones fit, perhaps around the outside? I think I heard that there was once a German made film camera that had eyecups that fitted into the actual tiny thread.Maybe an old cine camera? I find it very strange that there is not a cup made by leica. I have asked quite extensively here in the u.k but had no luck. Anyone that manufactured these would be onto a winner. At Leica prices, I reckon you could charge £120.Rubber's very expensive, I've heard. Best to all, David White www.nospin.co.uk

David, the eyecup has already been on my To-Do-list for some month. May-be 2002 will be the year...
