Help!

I have just brought a Nikon F6 and go on Holiday on Saturday and it has an issue...

When i put on ANY Nikon lens, it looks like i have put a DX lens on a Full Frame camera, i just get this little image circle. On my F100 all lenses work fine but i think something is badly wrong with the F6.

I have attached three photos, two of the F6 and one of the F100. When you just look at the mirror in the camera, they look different and appears something is wrong.

Any insight?

This is a guess, but it looks like it could be a missing lens element in the viewfinder eye piece... like the one used to change the diopter adjustment. Is there anything loose or flying around at the eye piece?

First off, have you tried opening and closing the view finder shutter blind? It is that little lever to the left of the VF to prevent stray light getting in during long exposures.

Does it have an auxiliary eye piece screwed in?
The way to unscrew what is there is to flip the VF shutter closed, then unscrew it. You cannot unscrew it with the shutter blind open (clever way to make sure you do not lose your eyepiece)

Glad its sorted. Wouldn't have guessed it. Hope it's not filled with dust now... was there an extra screen in the box or did you have to order one?
