Replacement Eyepiece Glass

[chrisso]

I asked a while ago, but just getting around to sorting this.
My RD1s viewfinder glass is cracked - the clear glass eyepiece on the front of camera. I want to replace it (probably so I can sell the camera).
I'm told there's a Voigtlander part that fits?
Or I could order an Epson part but I don't know the part number.
Any help?
I'm in Australia, so an RD1 service engineer is probably not an immediate option.

well, the rear eyepiece is from a bessa so it makes sense that the front one would be also.

nikon fm2 eyepiece is just identical. And you can also find Voigtlander replacement eyepiece for R-D1 on cameraquest.com

Thanks guys.
I'll look on Cameraquest.

I have 2 of them but I'm afraid it's only true for the rear one.

I purchased an FM2 eyepiece and mounted it on my R-D1. It's identical to my original R-D1 eyepiece.😀

I agree but I'm afraid chrisso was speaking about the front eyepiece of the camera.

Yeah, the front. The window NEXT to the frosted one.
Everything else about the camera, including the rear eyepiece, is in A1 condition.
Will the Bessa version fit then?

Oh, yes Thanks so much and I didn't realize it's the front glass.
