How exactly do you detach the soft eyepiece cup and detach the alternative eyepiece cup? Thanks.

I just read the manual it seems clear but the fit is tight as it should be. You do not want it falling off but the unit is solidly built and is now in permanent use. I never shoot portraits without it. For you alone I pulled off the rubber cup eyepiece and exchanged it. It's very easy, I used a mic of push and pull. It is a solid product and really great for portraits and outdoor shoots where you don't want to be too obvious. So, push and pull and it comes off.

As the other comments state, you just pop it off. There's a plastic piece that the rubber is connected to. It snaps off straight back and you can just apply the other piece.

Sorry - it's too early in the morning - I answered before noticing that it was a question about the Sony view finder. If I'm understanding you correctly - the soft eye piece literally just snaps on and off. A small amount of force will pull the rubber cover away from the EVF unit. You shouldn't feel as if you are about to break the (expensive) item - but it just snaps off. Once it's off you'll see that the rubber cover is attached through a simple tongue / grove arrangement. Snap it off by applying pressure to the top of the cover rather than the sides.

There is a video on the Recon website you can watch. Also check YouTube for other videos. I was able to unclip the lens with a thin, 8-inch flat blade screwdriver. Didn't have to remove the mirror. Hardest part was getting all the wires & connectors back into the mirror casing.

No instruction included. I referred to the owners manual. I believe it is just a matter of prying off the lens

The manual says: "Insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at one end of the light lens. Carefully pry the lens out." I would use a rag of some kind of padding between the lens and the housing when prying. Good luck!

I have found that when I have had difficultly removing something that uses the threads on a lens or other filter on the lens, wrap your hand around the end of the lens for several minutes and use the heat from your hand to expand the lens or protective filter. Then try to unscrew the adapter from the lens. I have used this technique to remove my polarizer several times when it has been difficult to remove. Remember that the threads on the adapter are plastic and very fine and can be crossed easily. The adapter does not need to be tight to hold the weight of the light ring. Good luck and enjoy the macro world. It is amazing what you can see.

Hi Yvonne, the suction cup is extremely flexible and is soft but the suction is fairly powerful. My concern would be releasing the contact once placed on the iris. Please contact your optometrist as I had with my ocularist.

There's kind of a notch on the back, right below where the triangle is pointing to. In that notch is a silver tab. That tab has to be pressed down, or moved to the side. That will lift the tiny metal cylinder that locks into the lens and holds the adapter into the lens. I have a few different types of adapters, and they're all a little tricky to get off. But once you understand the concept of lifting that tiny cylinder up, it's not too hard to figure out how to remove them.

There is a screwdriver slot on one end. Insert screwdriver in slot and turn screwdriver slightly and the red lens will pop off.

I went through the same thing and sellers don't seem to make it very apparent. Yes it does require an adapter. I looked at mine and I don't see a model number but it will depend on your eyepiece or camera. I would search "eyepiece adapter for..." Regards, Jeffrey

I believe there are 2 screws on each sides. Once you get those off, the lens should come off.

There is no tool to unscrew the adaptor. The only thing I csn think of is when you mounted the adaptor was you did not mount it correctly aligning the marks. You should mount the adaptor to the lens first then to the body.

There's an insert for 1.25" which can be removed for 2" eyepieces. Also, the telescope only comes with a couple of 1.25"...or at least that was the case when I purchased.

I was able to fit in my smaller eyepieces in the adapter. There is a knurled screw that will hold the eyepiece in place. I've also found that it isn't designed to be used as a primary focus adapter unless you have a low profile focuser. Has anyone been able to find any larger eyepieces that will fit in the adapter?

Yes it is designed that way on all of them. But if it is off to much take the eyepiece off and redo it to see if it will help.

Oddly, a telescope eyepiece jar works perfectly: http://www.scopestuff.com/ss_cas1.htm. See the one that "fits most 2" eyepieces.

The eye piece is a separate piece. I remove it everytime after I am done using it. I imagine it could be swapped out.

Use an eyeglass screw driver mine fit great for it a little pressure is needed to take them out
