Moved to the Lenses forum as it seemed more appropriate.

Dan, I have a couple of those eyecups in your link and I prefer them as well,
I had never tried to put it onto the KPS eyecup, but after you mentioned it I thought I would see how it went.

You need to get one where the rubber eyecup comes off the metal attachment piece and leaves a round hole of at least 20mm, this will allow it too slip over the flange on the KPS eyepiece for a firm neat fit.

The first one I looked at had a square hole and was no good, but the second fitted perfectly, so much so I am going to leave it on there. Thanks for the heads up.

Sorry I can't give you a brand name on the one I have, but it looks very much like the one in your link. good luck with it.
That sounds like just the type I use, so I'm tempted by the KPS thing, just to see how/if it improves things.

Cheers,
Dan

Can someone please tell me where I can purchase the kps eyepiece away from E.Bay

regards thoramay
You can get them on E-Bay this one says for Olympus but they come with different adapters to fit any camera.
Clarky, do you happen to know if this type of rubber eyecup would fit it (just the rubber bit, replacing the round one supplied)?

Cheers,
Dan

Moved from the 'Just Joined' as 'General Digital Photography' is more relevant to the question, and may well get you more answers.

I can only tell you what I've read. How the sensor is clamped I have no idea, but it seems a better idea thatn having it magnetically floating at all times.
I've just never heard of this before, I assumed it was done with the magnets. Can you remember where you read it?

In addition, with the K20D and later models the sensor is clamped into position when SR is off.
It is? I wonder how.

What other lens do you have?

K-m + DA L 18-55 + DA L 50-200 + Sigma 105mm Macro I presume from the hello you wrote?

Have just recently sold the 2 lenses that came with my K-m kit.
Guessing Tony just has the Sigma 105mm now.

Don't think it will, I believe Minolta went off on a tangent with their hotshoe.

This place does camo neoprene sheets, but at the price you'd be paying, you might be better off getting a quote from Wildlife Watching Supplies for a Realtree one, which would be far more effective as a camouflage. I suppose you might be able to get a few lenses covered from a sheet though.

Of course, once you've got your lens camo'd up, you'll need to sort yourself out!
