On a similar note, I've been trying on and off to find a ROUND eyecup to
fit my E-500/510 cameras. There are plenty of the egg-shaped ones available,
but those don't work well when wearing glasses. Rather than having to adjust
the diopter setting of the viewer to set my glasses aside, I'd like to find a
suitable eyecup.
I do notice a rectangular one made of soft rubber that is supposedly made
for use with eyeglasses:

but I'm not sure if it would suit my need. Anyone have any experience with
these?
I've also considered modifying an older eyecup for the OM-1/2, but the
mounting flange on the E-500/510 body is wider than for the OM-1/2.
