I still have my eyecup, but I use this solution that keeps the LCD clean and makes it very easy to see in bright light.

Tom, I'd like some more details on the retractable shade contraption in your picture. Does it snap on, or is it affixed via some adhesive? Where can such a device be purchased? Jay

I slides on just like the original, fits fairly tight and I have never had any issues with it coming loose.
I got mine here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Delkin-eFilm-Pen...QQcmdZViewItem Tom |

i know a couple of people that use , i think, an orion telescope lens eyepiece it just stretches over the pentax mount. it provides a 100% coverage of your eye. i've been meaning to get one but when i'm in that part of town i always forget.. think they are under 10usd..

There are lots of options out there, I just like the Delkin because it keeps the LCD clean when I am shooting and allows me to see the LCD in the brightest light when I want to review my images.
It also makes my camera look less like an expensive DSLR and more like a hard to sell film camera. Tom |

Price and function wise, Tom's alternative is the best. This is on top of the fact that Pentax Canada is to give you the run around.

If anybody is interested here's a link to a Delkin cover that fits the DL. It's more exspensive than the model for the DS. |

Hey Rufus, I was just checking my ebay messages... I sent the seller a question about the one for the dl & the one that you have the link to above is for the "Pro" style with the cover for the buttons on the left also. The regular style, like the one Tom has for his ds, is the same amount. $23.99 + 3.99 shipping usd. BTW, the "Pro" is 38.99 w/ free ship in the US here's the regular http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...%3AIT&rd=1 here's the Pro http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...0%3D%26fvi%3D1 Just thought I would let us dl users know...I'm thinking that it's moving up on my wish list. I, too, have lost my eye cup & am wondering how much longer I can keep from scratching the screen, since I haven't started putting any protectant on it yet. Thanks for the tip, Tom!!! Ron |

The pro version covers the buttons on the rear of the lens and you can see from my photos that the regular version does not. I didn't feel the need for the extra coverage and the double buttons of the pro version, which is why I got the regular one along with price.
