For several weeks I have searched the usual avenues (eBay, KEH, etc.), and have yet to find an eyepiece for my Canon F1n. I do not have a local camera shop. About two weeks ago, there was such an eyepiece on eBay, but my Internet connection failed as I was trying to place a bid in the last couple of minutes (yes, this really happened). Thus, I am stumped. Please help me find one. Also, I need an eyepice, not an eyecup. I already have the eyecup (which cannot be used without the eyepiece).

you didn't mention where you're at. If you're in the Los Angeles/Long Beach area, there are a number of vendors at the Camera Expo shows (monthly) in Long Beach who have had the Canon eye cups...they also fit AE1's I believe. Try cameraexpo.com to find out when the next show/swapmeet is.

Dennis Kushner is selling off his FD gear. You should contact him.

Can't say if all Canon's are similar but my Pentax Eyecup fits many EOS cameras.

Is there anything special about this eyepiece? Round screw-in eyepieces are freely available in diameters 19 and 22 mm from Nikon and 3rd-party makers.
