This is a picture of a custom made Nikon eyepiece. The 1.2 eyepiece magnifier shown on the upper left is the Nikon DK-17m Magnifying Eyepiece. The piece in the middle is the Nikon 2370 Eyepiece Adapter. Anybody have a guess as to what specifically the piece on the upper right is? |

If the interior is threaded, then it is likely an adaptor, I just can't see in there to tell. Otherwise it looks like the frame of the glass view piece without its rubber ring on. |

Here's the other side.This adapter allows you to thread the DK17-m Magnifier with its large thread onto the 2370 Eyepiece Adapter with its small thread opening. The resulting unit can then be slid over camera viewfinder. |

My first thought was the DK-7 so I tried mine on the 2370 but it doesn't fit. Perhaps the adaptor comes with the DK-17m? |

If you're a glasses wearer, then try before you buy a dk-17m. It does seem to hide part of the frame for some of us. |

I've succeeded at translating the page, and through careful analysis, I have come up with this: |

aside from the 1.2 x .75 = .9, Which makes this eyepiece totally cool, the rest just made me laugh like hell... |

No go on the DK-7. Someone earlier tried it and it was not fitting. |

Does anyone have a Nikon diopter? Maybe it is an old diopter with the glass knocked out. |

it looks like it has threads on both sides, so I doubt its a diopter |
