Hello,

Can anyone recommend reasonably priced replacement eyepiece covers that go on top of the rubber eye cup to keep the dust out ?

Sorry for the ridiculously long sentence, I can't think what they're called eyecup dust caps ?

I'm using varying Nikon sizes but have lost 2 already this year.

Thanks

I've found that the ocular caps for my 7x42 SLC's perfectly fit the diameter of my 30x DS lens - not sure if this helps.

Try East of England Binoculars

http://www.eebc.co.uk/productlist.aspx?category=1

who keep the complete Opticron range.

They come in pairs at about £11 a pair.

Thanks for the tips guys, I think they'd work for my Nikon DS eyepieces.
Any suggestions for something deeper for the MC style ?

If you lived in South Yorkshire I would say pop round to Rspb Old Moor we have a box of eye piece covers that's been accumulated over time from people leaving them behind

I'm in the same boat, just lost my MC zoom cover because it was a poor fit to begin with.
