I'm sure I know where I lost it as I shot in two very small and static spots today with 20 feet to the car. people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional

Mainly because the little finger clamps that hold them in keep breaking. I got an eye piece extender and it has the same problem. I finally started inserting shims made of paper to hold the eye pieces in place and haven't had a problem since. flickr

Now...I hate to potentially embarass you, but..is there any chance that the one you found is..yours? Mac users swear by their computers. PC users swear at theirs.

It isn't totally destroyed (they mustn't like the taste of rubber lol). No, I didn't know which rat did it (I have more than one). And no, I'm not going to punish them (it was several years ago anyways, said rats have long since passed onto the rainbow bridge). And yes, I did actually have it high up, lil b*tches climbed up and got into this cupboard...

It never sat on very tightly though. I've noticed that 1D ebay sales almost always show the camera sans cup. --Alex Editorial Portfolio

Maybe it got into your clothing or something and fell out while on that beach.
