Protecting Your Eyeglasses

[newspaperguy]

I love the new CV metal finders,

but they can be rough on eyeglasses.

Here's my el cheapo solution:

Genius! Couldn't have done better myself! Thanks for the idea.

Great idea. I'll be getting some today. Thanks.

That's great!

I use small/thin O-Rings on some of my finders for the same reason. The 1.25x "brand-X" magnifier on my M8 keeps an o-Ring on it.

You should apply for a patent for that idea. Change the packaging with a new label, 'eye-finder eyeglass protectors', or E-E-P.

Aki Asahi sells a number of circular felt eyepiece patches, maybe one of these would be suitable. Only $4.

Two quick additions: A black magic marker will get rid of the nudie look, and

Jim Nichols on the OM site suggested using an adhesive backed black felt.

He gets it at WalMart, holes it with a paper punch and trims it to shape.

Sounds great... I didn't know they offered such stuff.

Brian... I've been the O ring route, but have never found a cement that

would hold them in place for any amount of time.
