Some manufacturers provided and slip-on plastic eyepiece cover (I have
Pentax and Minolta, both fit Olympus I think) and Minolta on some models had
a little built-in blind that flipped up with a switch. My Canon EOS-IX also
came with a little slip-on cover. In a pinch I suppose you could use a lens
cap carefully balanced...
