A silly question. Would shooting with the rubber ring off make any difference? (considering that i do not need diopter correction?)
Rubber eyepiece ring disappeared from my Ikon.

merelyok, no it doesn't. i got my ZI "used" (refurbished from Zeiss) and it did not have the rubber eyering from day one -- absolutely no effect on use; terrible effect on my glasses, however! ;-)

I like using eyecups -- I have one on every body I own. But when I got my ZI, the Nikon DK-3 eyecup just would not fit, although the ZI's viewfinder seemed the same size as the Nikon FM2.
Then it dawned on me, why not use the FM2's eyepiece with the DK3 ON the ZI, and use the ZI's eyepiece on the FM2n. EVERYTHING WORKED!!! 😀
The problem was not the thread diameter size or pitch -- it was the depth of the ZI's eyepiece versus the Nikon's. The Nikon eyepiece is deeper, so there is more "thread contact" and thus stays on much more securely.
Long story short -- go to bocaphoto.com and order the Nikon eyepiece for the Nikon FM series. It fits the ZI.

I understand that you don't want to be battery dependent, but the MP is the most expensive way to do it. How bout an M2, M4, M4-2, M4-P, M6 or M6 TTL? I don't see why you would need to spend $3000 if what you want is battery independence.

Thanks to this thread I am ordering the Nikon one for my Bessa R2A. Hopefully it lasts a little longer than the original did.

Mine fell off recently in Berlin, unfortunate but doesn't seemed to have effected anything, so all is well.
