Hi there, I am enjoying my RTS II again... 97% viewfinder, great release, Zeiss lens etc. One thing that bothers me is the rubber eyecup.

This page lists various eyecups (F3-5), but it is not clear which one would fit the RTS II. Does anyone know?

Small accessories are still available from the Contax Service Center in Tokyo new, so I may get one of those flat ones...

Thanks... but eye cup F is the rubber eyecup, isn't it? Isn't there a non-rubber one for the RTS/RTS II?

Not sure about this. Maybe can try eye cup from other brands to see if they fit........

I found out today that modern Canon eyecups fit the RTS II, so very easy to have options. It does not fit 100% but works fine.
