geddon_jt Posted June 15, 2022 Share #1  Posted June 15, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) The rubber eyecup on my SL2 tore due to an accident. Anyone have any experience getting this fixed? There is a Japanese seller on eBay that claims to have genuine OEM replacement eyecups with 4 tiny screws. Is this something that can be done by the owner without sending it off somewhere? Heading overseas in around a month and don't want to send it out if I can avoid it (not to mention the $$). Any guidance appreciated! John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robb Posted June 15, 2022 Share #6  Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) It would be good to have a couple spares just in case.  So if the group can post a link to the sl2 version (if it’s different from the original SL,  that would be a great help to all I am sure.

insomnia Posted July 29, 2022 Share #8  Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Am I the only one that gets constantly poked in the belly by the eyepiece or is that due to my physique? It will take some time to get used to it 🙂 Edited July 29, 2022 by insomnia 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_tribble Posted October 25, 2024 Share #13  Posted October 25, 2024 Available in Europe here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384933921193 I’ve just bought one as a backup. I plan to stay with the SL2 for the foreseeable.  It’s a great workhorse.   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
