Ever since I got my Fujifilm X-Pro 1 in the winter, I've loved using it. Suddenly I realized, after having to discard my Canon FX for suddenly jamming mid-stride, and it leaving the rubber eye piece unused, that was what the X-Pro needed to feel complete. But no way it would fit an entirely different (non-rectangle) mount.
I took the rubber eye piece off the Canon viewfinder mount and eventually, in my boxes, found an old TLR filter lens that as well as fit the thread mount for the X-Pro 1 viewfinder, kept the rubber eye piece in place. After removing the filter glass that was it. Eye piece of cake! The metal ring is not even close to my eye when looking in it.
