I have a Pentax ED65-AII and an XW14 eyepiece. I purchased the items for an upcoming Alaska birding trip. Shortly after receiving it, I lost the rear lens cover for the eyepiece. (Not long after looking at it and thinking, "I should tether that.") My first call to Pentax customer service resulted in my speaking with a gentleman who was of no help whatsoever, as he appeared to become fixated on "what model of scope is it?". Today I spoke with a woman at their Colorado customer service number, and was advised that they do not have/sell spare eyepiece lens covers, and that I should try my "local sporting goods store."
I won't bother with that, as the cover is clearly proprietary to the eyepiece and no generic equivalent is available - I think. Anyone out there know otherwise? I could machine one, which is way overkill, or make one out of cardboard and duct tape, which is just tacky. Suggestions? Thanks!
