p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · D7100 Round Eyepeice conversion - smaller rubber?


I bought parts to convert my D7100 to a round eyepiece conversion
DK-22
DK-3 and a conversion ring from a Nikon FE
I find the DK-3 rubber to be much too large, is their a smaller rubber I can use?

Did you try pushing the eyepiece rubber flat?

I tried the same thing on my D7000... I couldn't get it to work.

Okay, after much experimentation - DK-22 adaptor for rectangular to round
mated with a Finder & eyepiece & rubber for a F series (FM, FE, FA,) from B&H

scroll down for the "F" style finder inc. rubber

or you can buy the parts on ebay

The smaller "F" style Finder with rubber were the piece of the puzzle I was missing.

I find the DK-3 to be a bit large myself. I use a sling strap and have had it actually come loose because of rubbing against my hip.
I went to the link that you posted and didn't see any "F" style finder with rubber. Do you have a part number or link to that particular one?


EDIT....
Never mind. I found it. For anybody else that may be looking for it, here is the link.

Esquire - do you have a picture of the finished product? I have been looking for this too.

Thanks

Ryuku Just scroll down on the page I posted
BFDStang I don't have two cameras, so it is hard, if not impossible to post a photo

Does this setup stay in place? I tried an aftermarket eyepiece and it kept falling off.

Not even a smart phone with a camera?

So instead of the DK-3, just use the FE/FM round piece on the DK-22?
