Paul: I have two of these useful critters, but both came with eyecups attached (although one eyecup size is larger than the other). Both eyecup models are round, though, not teardrop-shaped. (And, the inner part, which has to fit onto the Refconverter, is round, and not rectangular, as in the eyecups that fit over typical camera body eyepieces.) I just took a look at the Ref-A owners "manual" (a folded leaflet, actually), and the photos show what would seem to be the larger of the two eyecup sizes I have. (I have no way of telling, at the moment, whether the smaller of my two eyecups is "stock" or not.) If it's of any use for you, the manual is actually for both the newer Refconverter-A (which fits the M bodies and newer) (and which is almost identical to the Refconverter-M) and the older Refconverter-II (for the K bodies and older), and it would seem to indicate that the same eyecup fits either one. So, maybe you might sometime be able to come up with an eyecup that would fit by taking it off an older Refconverter that you might be lucky enough to stumble into cheaply... (It would be round, though, I guess.) Both Ref-A's also came inside fitted leatherette cases, too - did a case come with yours, Paul? (Oh, the joys of buying all of your gear used - <g>.)
