Blue Cushion is who you want. Probably the Ovsl Long. B&H among others carry them.

Yeah, I lost my rubber eye cup too - a month or so back - was just carrying the camera at my side and I must have brushed against it. It was such a loose fit I said at the time that I doubted I'd be the last person to loose one!

Not got a replacement yet so I too would be interested to know of (potentially better) third party solutions people might suggest, especially since I think Sony will charge a fortune for their original FS5 one (...is it the same as the one on the X70 I wonder?)

I did a google search,

Same as the X70 according to the compatibility box.
