Moose,
My experience and mystification parallel yours. I haven't had eyecup
problems since my Nikon F. Not that I;m unhappy about that.

So I take the E-M5 out of the bag today for the first time since Feb 22nd
to start on a long process of documenting a friend's substantial guitar

And I noticed the damn eyecup, the deep-set one, is gone. That's the
third damn eyecup I've lost because Olympus engineers obviously never
tried using this thing in real life before they designed an eye cup that
refuses to stay on.
So, now I have to buy yet ANOTHER replacement eyecup.
AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
Sorry. Tired. Rant now over.
I'm sorry for your loss.
And at a loss myself, as I've never had an eyecup unintentionally come off
an E-M5 I or II. I imagine mine to have seen
more use than yours (?), and much more away from home, out in the woods,
etc.
We need to get together, do some photography, especially taking cameras out
and putting them away a lot, with a neutral
observer to see what we do differently. :-)
I know others here have reported similar losses. What are you guys doing
wrong??? ;-)
I'm trying to think back, and I rather suspect that I may not ever have lost
an eyecup, off any camera. I know I've
picked up a couple from trails (but Canon), so I'm up in the count. :-D
