Charlie:  Do you know the brand of the eyecup, and where you got it?
Inquiring four-eyes* want to know.  From the FAQ and e-conversations with
Gary S., it appears that eyecups made for a Pentax M-series, whether Pentax
or third-party, should also fit the OM cameras. But Gary says they're
Pentax M accessories are even scarcer than OM's.

I've been looking for an eyecup for a while, but haven't found anything so
far.  The main requirement is that it not move the eye further back from
the viewfinder, so the OM eyecups that have space for a diopter correction
lens won't do me any good.

* Note:  For non-native English speakers, "four-eyes" is a derogatory
childrens' term for glasses wearers.
