Does anyone make a rubber ring to cover the metal on a Voigtlander viewfinder?
I have a 35mm metal viewfinder like this one and don't want it scratching my glasses.

Has anyone found a solution to this?
 
You can use liquid electrical tape or non spray plasti dip to paint on a few layers with a fine brush to cover any sharp surfaces. Removal is as easy as peeling it off. It would not look as clean but it should work. I find I always lose those factory o rings as well from the actual cv camera bodies. The screw on Nikon replacement of the same diameter actually holds better but that's going off topic.
 
Go to your local hardware store. There are lots of rubber washers that would fit.

Hi,

This problem happens with several eyepieces and one of the traditional answers has been corn plasters. The sort that are a felt ring with a sticky backing.
