I find both the original eyecups for the aforementioned cameras to be uncomfortable for extended use. Has anyone found a better solution?

I don't see if it is compatible with the M-10.

I believe the M-10 has it's own large eyecup---but try Googling it or call Olympus

I was looking for something larger than original equipment and also softer. I saw a DYI for the Sony using the original eyecup and then attaching the eyecup that goes with the Sony A58 on top of it. Looks kind of hokey though.

I do believe this is what I have. And this may be the best (and only) that there is. And it's not very comfortable. Maybe it's the way I hold the camera. Anyway...
Thanks.

Just a note that if you have the eyecup that came with the original kit, it's not the large one. I had EM5 and now have EM1 and looked at EM10 and my eyecup for the EM5 and the one I have now for the EM1 are the second ones I used, quite a bit larger...

See that is what happens when I make an assumption! Thanks and I will order it.

Happy to be of help to fellow Photog enthusiast--How do you like the EM 10? What lenses using?

I like the M-10 a lot. It's small, quick, sturdy and responsive and takes amazing pictures. It took awhile to get up and running though. I bought the a6000 a few weeks later and like it as well. I find the Sony menus easier to navigate and it actually feels more comfortable in my hands. I bought the Sony because a deal was going on and I could get the Sony with a long lens for the same price as I paid for a long lens for the M-10. So I bought the Sony with the idea of returning the M-10 long lens but in the meantime I lost the hood and could not find an original replacement. So long story long I kept both cameras with both long lenses :) Having both cameras is handy- since I have not duplicated the lenses on both cameras they each have their own function. Although both cameras have long lenses :) they only overlap a bit in other focal lengths. The primary lens for the M-10 is the Pro 12-40mm f 2.8 lens which is so excellent. It was on sale for 100.00 off- still expensive but worth it. I also picked up a 45mm f 1.8 lens that is wonderful. And I have the kit lens and of course the long lens- Tamron 14-150 mm. The Tamron is excellent at f 6.3 and above and average below. I have not used my Nikon D 610 for many months now. Time to sell it.
