I have an eyecup 1 and would like to add a corrective lens to it.
There is a plastic peice that screws in to hold the corrective lens in
place. Does this peice come with the eyecup or the diopter lens?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
By now you know that the missing retaining ring is a problem. No Oly
spare parts but I think there is a solution.
I don't have an eycup 1 but I do have some third party teardrop shaped
eyecups that I prefer. The teardrop shape does a better job of
shielding the light. These teardrop shaped eye cups accept the standard
round Oly correction lenses which are 19mm diameter. I think many
cameras of the OM-1/2 era also used 19mm diameter correction lenses as a
standard. I suspect they were all made by a non-OEM producer.
If it were me and the eyecup 1's retaining ring was missing, I'd throw
away the eyecup 1 and buy a third party teardrop eyecup. However, if
you prefer the eyecup 1 I'd be willing to bet the price of a good pint
of brew that the retaining rings of these two eyecups are compatible.
