Eyecup for 230 AF

Have a nice 230AF that needs an eyecup. Does anyone have ideas where I might find one? Tried ebay but nothing there.

Hi TTNC, perhaps it does not need to be a Yashica eyecup my Canon 5D and Contax RTS have the same size eyepiece and can interchange viewfinder accesories like the angle finder and eyecups. If you have a good local camera store, perhaps they will have something that will fit and work even if not the 'correct' Yashica one.

I also recall the old Nikon FM, FM2, FE, FE2, FA, etc eyecups also fit the Yashica bodies. You can probably find those easier then ones for the RTS series. Definitely bring your 230AF body along with you when visiting the camera stores. Nothing more frustrating than taking the salesman's recommendation home and later finding it doesn't fit :x
