What eyecups/eyepieces are compatible with the Zenit Quarz 1x8s-2 camera?

Hi, I recently purchased a Zenit Quarz 1x8s-2 super 8 camera off eBay, unfortunately it did not come with an eye cup and it makes using the viewfinder a pain in the butt. 

I've tried searching online for suitable ones that fit the camera but I've come upl31hrV0.jpg empty.

Does anyone here know where I could get one that fits this camera?

The Quarz has an 18mm diameter eyecup ring, so yes it's small.  However you should be able to adapt some other still camera viewfinder eyecup to it. It might mean getting a bit creative by gluing in some small rubber tubing etc into the eyecup to make it fit, or even using some glue to hold it directly to the camera body around the viewfinder, there's plenty of room.   I have used eyecups from other cameras, but came in a mix from eBay so I don't even know what the original cameras were.  You can do something that will work out for you.  I agree....without an eyecup, it's a real pain on any camera.
