eyepiece for XPan?

[f8lee]

Hi, all,

I managed to crack the eyepiece lens on my XPan II some months ago. At first, i was crestfallen, thinking I'd have to send it in for repair, but then I discovered that the eyepiece is easily removed and replaced. Which brings me to my question:

Where do I get a replacement eyepiece? I actually ordered one from B&H, and selected the weakest diopter they have: -0.5, but even that is too strong. I guess the original equipment eyepiece was just flat?

So where can I get one? I wrote to Hasselblad service weeks ago (from their website) and have yet to get a response...

TIA,

BobF

According to the Manual the -1.0 is the standard eyepiece fitted. I was able to get a +0.5 eyepiece off ebay last year for a reasonable amount.
