Chopped OVF for Sony A350

Sometime ago I read about the possibility to put a Nikon eye magnifying
glass in place of the Sony eyecup.
Yesterday I went to a store and tried the Nikon DK21M (M is important,
because without it, it's just an empty cup). It fits like a glove and the
view is very much improved, no if's, buts or maybe's about that.
BUT! I did like the original big eye cup of the Sony. So I started to chop
around and now I finished. Mind the fact that the whole thing stands a
little off from the camera, but for me that's not important.
I have a much better view and control.

Here's a picture of the two parts before I "trashed" them:

You have to take the rubber ring away from the Nikon, even they tell you it
can't be done. RIGHT!

Then you also have to do some trimming on the Sony cup to make it fit.
To keep the eye starter to work, you also need to trim a bit at the bottom
of the Nikon: just take some away, try if it work, take some away again,
etc.

There you go: perfect OVF with a 17% bigger view. Believe me: that's much!
Any questions: just ask.
