I've never owned/tried the eyecup 1 so I can't comment on which is 
better.  I sure do like the eyecup 2, though.  Here's the info for both:

As for which dioptric correction lens you'd need, the e-SIF says, "The 
number engraved on each Dioptric Correction Lens indicates the final 
diopter in conjunction with the OM body."

My guess is you should try the -5 and if that doesn't work you're looking 
at a custom job.  (My optomatrist said it'd be around CDN$50 for a 
custom-cut lens.)

Hope that helps....

Regards,

Chris
