Can anyone with an Evolt or similar Olympus digital tell me if the eye cup fits an OM? I've had zero luck trying to get a hold of an OM (-2) diopter for my OM2n. I have a rectangular Nikon piece but it doesn't fit very well. An Ebay seller states that a Zenit adjustable diopter will fit but I have no way to confirm. Zenit viewfinders always look more square like Canon, whereas Olympus is very rectangular. Any advice is appreciated. I just hate shooting with glasses on.

I use a Canon rubber eye piece on my om2, the fit is fine, so perhaps Canon's diopter lens's will fit? _________________ Fuji X10, X-A1 and Samsung nx 20

Thanks for that. I'll try to hunt down a Canon eyepiece to see how it fits. I always thought the trim around Canon viewfinders were kinda square lookin.
I've just tried a Canon eyepiece from my 10D onto my OM-1 and the Canon slot is too narrow for the OM - it would break it.
Also tried a Pentax K-series (old style) eyepiece adaptor on the OM and it's the same - no surprise there, as I bought that for the back of the Canon.
Pentacon fitting is too wide, just for a bit of variation. _________________ Dave - Moderator Camera Fiend and Biograph Operator If I wanted soot and whitewash I'd be a chimney sweep and house painter. The Lenses of Farside (click)
