Subject: DIY eyecaps for eyepieces?
|
A couple of our eyepieces with long eye relief are w/o eyecaps,
which makes it a little hard to position your eye correctly and
avoid "black out".
Any suggestions for comfortable & durable eyecaps of "everyday" stuff ?

Bicycle inner tubes - clip to length. Might want to double one and glue
inner to outer for proper stiffness.
Specifically designed eyecaps are available very inexpensively - I doubt
that making your own is cheaper than buying if you value your time at
minimum wage, except for satisfaction and custom fit.
