I am having a hard time finding a replacement for the eyecup on my Mamiya Press (Super 23) .
I have tried eyecups for Nikon D800 (and the likes) but they are too narrow. Opening diameter 22mm, while the Mamiya is approx. 24+mm.
Only the rubber cup is needed. The screwring for fastening is attached to the viewfinder already.


Anyone got tips/solutions for replacement eyecups for Mamiya Press and other older cameras?

Take that more narrow rubber cone and glue it (epoxy ot hotmelt) to that ring.

Bought a round Pentax 67 cup. No glue needed, just heated it in hot water to flex enough to go on the eyepiece.

I use these replacement eyecups on my Bolex cameras. Looks like the opening would fit the Mamiya.

Telescopes, microscopes, and binoculars use eyecups, and they are easy to find. Of course getting the correct diameter won't be easy because of all the different ways they measure and the variety of flanges and such for mounting.

I have a pair of binoculars that I bought fifty years ago and I was miffed that the manufacturer does not have replacement eyecups. I had to fix the tear with a few drops of super glue. As suggested see if you can find some other replacement of the same diameter and thickness. I hope you have success quickly.
