On April 23, 2016, I posted the following comment concerning a replacement eye-cup. The one I made is still working fine and is firmly in place. Here is what I said: I wear glasses and with my XPro 2 had problems with blocking out side light around the original eye piece. I purchased a Nikon eye cup DK-19 for $1.50 (free postage) on Ebay which fits perfectly around the outer circumference of the Fuji rubber eyepiece. I first masked off around the Fuji eyepiece with masking tape and twice tried to attach the Nikon eye cup with Elmer's rubber cement. Although I followed the label instructions for a "stronger bond", this failed twice. I then used with complete success Permatex Adhesive Sealant Clear RTV Silicone (80050). DAP makes a like product, both being widely available. Without my glasses this now works perfectly to block out side light, with the glasses on it is better than before. I also find that in my case I can slightly adjust the diopter adjustment to provide sharp vision in the EVF without wearing my glasses. It is adequate on the LCD. I was at first concerned that the added Nikon eye cup would protrude back too much but it doesn't.
