Hi Chuck:
Want to go into production? The two I had were gone in the first two e-mails
I opened. Sorry, it seems that you have to be very quick on the draw for
some things. If it helps here is how I made mine- What I did was buy Oly
round cups and used my Nikon eyecups which fit them perfectly, also I should
mention that I pared them down as both the OLY and the Nikon ones were
grossly too big. That way you can still get your eye in close like normal
and the side wing blocks out the light that gets in from the corner of your
eye.
Gord
