Daz Type-R Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 All. Ever since owning my zoom ep, I have made sure the end caps are on when packing away and storing. The last few sessions that I have tried to take the ep end cap off (the end that you look through) the twist up eye cushion (for want of a better word) keeps coming off, it is now at the point where it does not twist up properly. Have I broke it somehow, can it be fixed, I could live with it as with a bit of fiddling I can get it to stay put, just thought I would ask. Cheers in advance guys.

catman161 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Hmmm I've pulled that adjustable eye relief piece off mine before but I just lined it up and twisted it back in place and it works ok.

Guest Kheldar Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Is it not designed to come off to you can screw fit a camera to it, or am I thinking of the fixed length ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yeah I think you're right Stephen-I have just ha a mess with mine and it screws on and screws back in fine an there's a thread in there I assume for attaching an adaptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 So that fact mine just pulls off with the end caps is fine then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hmmm do you not twist the protector cap slightly when removing it? Or does it come straight off with the protector cap with you pulling it straight up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 It comes off with both methods, twisting the end cap or pulling it straight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Ahh well mine doesn't do that so maybe something has gone in your eye relief perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eddy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Mine also comes off if you dont twist it to give the eye relief, but is easy to twist back on. As Stephen says it should come off as thats where you put the hyperion camera adapter on to attach a t ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steve Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Ditto - min comes off if I pull the lens cap off too hard - it goes back on OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yup same with mine (Mk2) - it's designed to come off so you can use the thread - sounds like it might be just a tad loose which is no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ely Ellis Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Sound like the threads are stripped on the eye releif cup. Can't see it being a problem. Wouldn't worry about it. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 My eye relief cup is just rubber - no threads on it - dunno about the Mk3 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ely Ellis Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 On mine, it screws up to a point, then if you pull it, it then jumps to what I think is another set of threads, where you just carry on and unscrew it completely off to expose the M?? (compatible with what?) camera threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Cheers for the replies guys, I will have a better look at it in the light and see if it is threaded or not, It goes back on okay so i`m not too fussed. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
