luminescence Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hello, does anyone know where I can find the eyecup for a GH3. It slips off easily and was lost. But searches on B & H and Amazon only show eyecups for G7 and G8 - but have no idea if they fit a GH3. Any suggestions? Or is there a better viewer available?

Cinegain Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 On 27-10-2014 at 4:11 AM, Cinegain said: I once had to replace the GH2's eye cup, well actually the plate that holds the rubber eye cup. After a bit of research I found this: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Panasonic-Parts/Panasonic-Parts/Model-DMCGH2HK/0789/0500140/50039434/00001?blt=06&prst=0&shdMod=DMC-GH2HK . I then mailed Panasonic asking them if and how/where I could get a hold of these parts (VGQ0Q78 & VGQ0S00). They pointed me to the officially licenced Panasonic service center that just so happened to coveniently be in town. I made them order it for me and a few days later it was ready to be picked up. Costs were close to nothing. So, my recommendation: direct your question directly to Panasonic. Let them hook you up with a service center responsible for your geographic area and then ask those guys for possibilities and prices. Judging from the GH2 diagram and assuming the GH4 is not much different, the EVF itself seems to be quite the unit, so I doubt it will be as inexpensive as an eye cup. Also not sure if you could replace it yourself, and if not, you'll have to pay for servicing/manual labor... I'm afraid that might get quite pricey. All the best! ~ http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Genuine-Panasonic-VYK6B43-Eye-Cup-For-Lumix-DMC-GH3-GH4-Camera-/222001230060 VYK6B43 luminescence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luminescence Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Apparently this is a known problem with the GH3. Its available on ebay from a Chinese company or if you are in the USA, you can go online or ring Panasonic at the link below. Many thanks for your assistance! https://panasonic.encompass.com/item/9560969/Panasonic/VYK6B43/Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
