Hi to all,
I am a professional photographer for 18 years and starting the video-making this year...a newbie.
This its my 1º post for a simple and economical solution for my new-used C100 EVF eyecup.
Break apart a cheap ebay viewfinder lupe and remove the rubber eyepiece...a for my surprise fit very well and tight !!!
Its not the best solution, but for 9$ now i can use the EVF in exterior, with 3 point body contact and its very comfortable ( waiting for a eye cushion to add)
My best regards

After using the cheap 9$ eyecup for a days, the rubber felt a little too hard and uncomfortable.
So i bougt the zacuto z finder eyecup replacement, and what a difference !!! smooth rubber and better sun block on exterior.
Its not a perfect fit because the rubber ring its too deep and touch the top hand grip of the c100.
Solution - Sharp x-knife and remove the bottom rubber ring and some upper textures, and voila ! perfect a tight fit with more space to rotate the lcd.
i Don´t have tried the C-Cup but this zacuto 15$ its great alternative.
Great forum!
