400D Eye Cup?

how33 · 8th June 2007

been shooting on my 400D quite a bit these few weeks and realized that the viewfinder rubber thingy is 'falling out' a lil here and there.. was wondering if the big brothers here have had an experience like this?

and.. any solutions? can buy new one? also, seen those 'compatible ones with the eye cup and stuff? any recommendations?

Wow you really rough with your stuff? Mine on the 30D is still in good condition.

You can get one for ~ $10-20 at Cathay Photo. I lost mine during a trip and had to get it replaced.

use bluetac and stick it, I lost it twice then apply bluetac and it was never missing again

Can consider getting a 1.2x magnifier. I got the Olympus ME-1 and it works great on my 350D. Makes MF easier

Reduces the angle of view of your viewfinder though; you'll have to move your to see the left and right, up and down. It's a compromise.

Not really, I'm not sure about the 30D, but for my 350D, i can see the whole screen even though I wear glasses. If used on a D200, you will need to move left & right to see the whole view.

The VF of the 350D is quite small....
