... just looking for a non-magnifying replacement eyecup for my k-5..... i wear glasses... would prefer to keep my large nose off the lcd screen, and shield the viewfinder a bit more than the standard eyepiece does... anyone out there acquire such an aftermarket item?
i've seen fleabay list a few, but never mentioning if it fits a k-5 or not... trial and error is not my cup of tea..
regards all, dave m

That should work.
But if you're looking for a glasses friendly version then I'd recommend something from along the lines of a KPS magnifier screen which results in a for more powerful diopter adjustment(which is what I use). This way you can simply slip down your glasses(on your nose) and peek through into a nice clear image. Granted, there is a slight loss around the edges but that's rarely an issue as you can easilly maneuvre or shift your eye to see whatever edges of the screen that needs seeing.

Hope this helps.
