Where to get replacement eye cup for K-5 IIs viewfinder

RonakG · 01-23-2015, 02:12 PM

Surprisingly I lost the rubber eye cup from my K-5 IIs. I don't understand how can it just come off the viewfinder and get lost.

Anyway, where do I get a replacement? There are lots of different ones available on ebay and Amazon. So little confused as to which one to get.

Any ideas?

Search the Web for "Pentax Eyecup FR" you'll get hits on OEM and aftermarket knockoffs.

I have been through 5 already with my cameras. Probably caused by rubbing against my clothing when carrying or through careless while taking them out of the camera bag. Always worthwhile keeping a spare in the bag. If you do not use it for your current Pentax DSLR camera, there is good chance it will fit the next one.

I also keep spares for other potentially easily lost / mislaid detatchables, such as the x sync socket and viewfinder eyecup.
