Before I found the refconverter A at a reasonble price I superglued the fitting from the eyecup M to the refconverter II (K). The biggest problem was removing the ring from the eyecup and getting it perfectly level to mate with the converter, took a little of my workshop skills and a fine file. However if you place it correctly it works very well even on the A series bodies allowing full view of the viewfinder/metering. It looks a bit unsightly but I've kept mine as a spare.
