Canon Eyecup for Original F-1

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Canon FD : One Thread

I need an eyecup for my Canon Original F-1 (second model, asa 3200). I have haunted ebay for two months and either there are none or I couldn't find them. Any ideas? Any other eyecup that will fit behind the eyepiece retaining ring? Thank you for your time. I read this site every day!! Don

Don,

Start haunting the junk boxes at shops and shows. At one shop clearance I found a bunch of used F1 flash couplers. A cup will turn up.

I have one of these thins I would probably let you have for ten bucks to cover shipping. Contact me if interested and let's see if we are talking about the same item. Round cup with metal screw in ring that screws into the old F-1. I had the original but I am sure they didnt change it since then when they made the minor changes. Sold my camera, didnt remember the old eyecup. Sold it with a flash coupler that had a flat eye ring to hold it on...GS

Apparently Gerry has dropped off the net for some reason. Anyone else know of a serviceable Canon F-1 eyecup for sale. Don
