Many thanks Ed. I have the "buttless" ZX-5n, too, and I'm not adverse to
putting the eyecup under the knife if the distance needs to be tweaked.
I'm just sick to death of holding my thumb up next to my eye so I can block
out enough light to read my viewfinder--it's pretty obvious this camera
wasn't designed by someone from Texas (does the sun never shine on Japan,
or what?).
