My first post.
I picked up a 503CW with a PME51 a couple days ago. The PME51 has an eyepiece but no eye-cup. I noticed metering shifts with light creeping into the viewfinder in bright ambient light. Then I was horrified by the prices for OEM and aftermarket eye-cups. (OK, I am actually horrified by all Hasselblad pricing, but that's another issue.)
Thirty minutes of web searching came up with these. I am in USA. Got them from Amazon, delivered in one day. I haven't boned up on the terms here, so I am only giving the item description and the Amazon stock number at this time. They're just a wee bit loose, but have a lip to help hold them under the eyepiece lip. Eight dollars for two!
The eye-relief without glasses is 100% spot-on for me. I can see the whole view and I have no light pollution getting in through the eyepiece. I am unsure if these can be easily rolled down for those with glasses, but a little time with a sharp knife would work too.
I will now take time to browse this forum. I hope I was of some help for others.
