Eyepiece fell off
The eyepiece fell off my ZM on Thursday night. I just checked Adorama and a replacement looks to be $39. The shipping is also completely ridiculous for something that would fit in a small envelope! Is there a cheaper replacement available?

Buy one for a Nikon FE2/FM2/FM3A. They're the exact same size.

Interesting. I have two downstairs. I'll try one of them on the ZM tomorrow and report back!

I just checked both my FE2 and FM2 and neither has an eyepiece. Bummer!

I tried after seeing jonmanjiro's post - yes the eyepieces of my ZI and FM3a are indeed interchangeable!

That really amazed me. Thanks a lot.

I think I will go for the loctite as well. Mine fell off already, but fortunately inside the bag...
