Thanks Warspite
I'm just really down for loosing it :( - put the EP-EX15 extender on, then put the eyepiece on , then went to a gig to take some shots - got to the gig and noticed that it was gone :( - hope its somewhere in the house but at least from the links it doesn't cost an arm and a leg
I lost two for the 20D. It's no trouble replacing them on fleabay, but it's very annoying. I've now cut a very thin strip of double- sided carpet tape, stuck it on the eyepiece, put the eye piece on the camera, and it's not going anywhere I don't want it to. ;)

Do I want EF or Eb? for the 350, different sites tell me different things, and I cant work out what the difference is.
Thanks

According to the manual Ef appears to be the standard eye piece.

cheers Waspite, not sure of the difference between the ef and eb but have gone for one off ebay for under £4.
The one on the links that looked best turned out to then include vat and a large delivery from out of the country, but I'm really grateful for you pointing me in the right direction :)
I lost mine in summer, so i went to LCE and picked up 2 new ones £6.50 each and glued one to my extender, that way I shouldn't lose it, but if I do I've got a back up.
One of the better things about my job is scrounging through the dead-camera bins in our various phot depts around the country... as well as raiding the shelves at the Nikon UK service department (I'm banned now, BTW!!!).
I currently have 3 LCD screen protectors, 4 spare lens hoods for all my lenses and about 5 spare eyepieces and rubber surrounds for the D2x's...
You will want an Ef, you can fit an Eb if you have an extender which is nice.
I have already lost one of mine, and nearly lost a 2nd but someone saw it drop and told me. Half of it is because I play about with it whilst waiting around and it makes it loose. :s
