While I agree that awareness is the best remedy, sometimes it is not
good enough. If you happen to be standing in a location where if
something falls off, it is gone forever (deck of a ship, boardwalk,
etc), it is generally too late once you realize it has fallen off. The
eyecup and hot shoe fall off problems are probably two of the worst
design errors in the OM system. I now use an eyecup much less often
than I would like to, because it is such a pain to have to keep up with
it. And I find I do almost all my flash photograpy with my OM-4Ti or an
OM-2N which has a TTL Autoconnector Type 4 and Bounce Grip II. Back
when all I had was an OM-1N, keeping up with eyecups and hotshoes was a
big pain in the rear, and I probably did lots more flash work then than
now.
