G2 vs. Eyeball

[akptc]

I use rubber eyecup-equipped SLRs for most of my picture-taking fun. Almost every time I grab my Contax G2, I end up poking my left eye with the viewfinder. It takes a few frames and some Visine to get me to instinctively remember to rest the camera on my nose.

It occurred to me that perhaps someone has produced an after-market rubber eyecup for the G2 - it would be an eyeball saver for me. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

I wonder if you allow yourself to get poked enough times, whether you'll experience a variation of pavlov's dogs 😀 You touch the G2 and instinctively your eye starts to water.

Either that or I will go blind 😱

Pffft, Isaac Newton used to push his finger into his eye socket and observe the colors when he'd push on the orbit and he never went blind (kids: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME).

Well, sure, but he was British!

Very simple. Since the G2 viewfinder FOV is 1/4 the area of an SLR view, your brain says you are obviously too far awy from it, press the camera closer.

When you get the black G back set up, it will add enough thickness to the camera to protect your eye. 🙂

Bill, that is as clever as it is minimalistic, I love it. Now if I can only win that databack...
