p.1 #1 · DK-17M + F100 = SRT-101

I put the DK-17M on my F100 to take a peek and it made me feel like I was looking through my old manual focus Minolta cameras.. except without all the dust of focus screen!

Now I'm interested in seeing what a Beattie screen would add...

the DK-17M is a magnifier for the viewfinder of the D2 series Nikon DSLRs...

the Beattie screens are supposed to make the viewfinder a stop or so brighter, plus you can get them with a split prism...

End result must be very comparable to having the wonderful viewfinder of manual focus cameras, like the Minolta SRT-101.

Sounds like a plan to me... curious is there a working purpose or need in mind for this project ?

not specifically...

I just really miss the nice bright viewfinders of the manual focus cameras...

And it was just a random spark of an idea to see in the DK-17M would fit and work well on the F100... and a pleasant surprise.

But now that I think about it, one of my favorite lenses to work with is the PC28mm, so having the grid, split prism, and brighter view of the Beattie screen might be a good idea.

I really do hope that some day Nikon makes a 18mm PC lens for DX cameras.
