Re: Canon 15x50 IS homemade eyecups

Hi,
Pardon me jumping in, but I have removed the Canon stock eyecups on my 15x50IS and found that the fitting they slide over is 35mm diameter, so the 35mm ID winged eyecups from Alpine Astro or University should fit. These would be great for folks like me with a significant nose fit issue, even with the folded down factory ones.
The stock eyecups are actually cemented on with some kind of white rubber adhesive similar to what dentists use for some molding for night guards. Took a long while to clean that all off and I had to slit the original eyecup carefully with an Exacto to get things moving. Canon also sells replacement OEM eyecups which fit on fine without adhesive if you want to go back to "stock".
Dave
