Binocular parts?

CoBirders . . .

I have a pair of late-’80’s Leitz/Leica 8x40 Trinovids. I LOVE my binocs!

This morning, while out birding, one of the eyecups came off . . . and rolled into a sewer grate (of course!). No way to retrieve it.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to who to contact for a replacement(s)?

Thanks!

Thanks to all. I’ll give ‘em a call on Monday.

I sent my 1990s Leicas to Leica service earlier this year because the focus mechanism had become sticky. They fixed the binos and returned them to me within a week at no charge! I'd just contact Leica.

All,

A follow-up on this. I received several suggestions to call Leica. I did so this morning. They will be sending me some replacement eyecups free of charge. The only down-side is that I have black binos, and the eyecups are green . . . I’ll consider them a fashion statement.

Thanks for all of the help!
