Charles:
Eyecup 1 is no longer made, and is available only through used sources.
http://www.taiga.ca/~esif/om-sif/findergroup/eyecup1.htm
Eyecup 2 is available new, as well as used. See:
http://www.taiga.ca/~esif/om-sif/findergroup/eyecup2.htm
Eyecup 1 does a better job of blocking out light, but it is a pain to
remove it every time you change film.
You are probably better off using your contacts or glasses, rather than
a correction diopter lens, unless you have little or no astigmatism.
