Hi,

I just lost one of the eyepeice rubbers for my Olympus IXPS binos, and was wondering how critical it's replacement had to be ? Does it have to be exactly the same as the remaining one so that it does not alter the eye relief ? Or can I just buy a generic set of rubbers and take up the distance in eye to eyepeice distance with diopter adjustment ?

Also where do people get replacement Bino parts, and could I make a new rubber Blue Peter style from a couple of toilet rolls, some sticky black plastic and some ordinary household bleach ?

Cheers and Thanks,
Richie
