Some stupid things really can drive you nuts with your camera system. For me one of the longest running and simple issues has been with the loose fit of the rubber eye piece on the Phase One DF body. Mine has been loose for a long time and I've resorted to taping it on with gaffer tape otherwise it pops off whenever I put the camera in & out of the bag.
Anyway, I purchased a replacement eyepiece from CI's web site on the basis that it's only a matter of time before I lose mine. Today I was surprised to find that the design has obviously changed and that Mamiya/Phase One added a small lock pin to the part to make sure that it can no longer simply pop off with the slightest knock. I don't know when this change happened and maybe I have a very early DF body (early '10) but it's definitely different. Dumb stuff but what a difference!
So, if you've got a loose eyepiece, think about picking up a replacement from CI who appear to have the most recent part. It is such a delight not having to futz with that thing any more! :thumbup:
