Hi,
Just joined a couple of days ago. I'm refurbishing some of my older equipment and am looking for the pads that go into the 4 corners of the prism that mounts to the camera body.

Anybody have those? Or a recommendation to a place that sells them?
Or suggestion of how to make them? Or any other suggestions?

Below is a photo of what I'm looking for. It looks like it might be rubber. But I'll use any material that is good for this .

Thank you.
Ned

I suspect it might be very hard to find those items as OEM item. You might measure with a dial caliper the thickness and maybe some kind of kitchen cabinet adhesive bumper pad might work. I have the same prism and do not remove it very often only for cleaning knowing those little pads were getting edgy on my own unit.

Thanks, RA. I sent an inquiry to Bob at Precision Camera. Lets see, maybe they'll have them.
I lucked out earlier today and found a source for the Rubber Eyecup for the Prism, I couldn't believe it! $19. NOS...

And thanks Trail Images for the suggestion of the cabinet door pads. Seems like it would work. If Precion CAmera doesn't work out, I'll go in that direction. I believe Precision Camera is the authorized Legacy Mamiya repair service.
