Nikon DG-2 2x Eyepiece Magnifier for Nikon D7000, D3100, D300S, D700, D90, D3X, and D3000 Digital SLR Cameras

Just as the little slip-on eyepiece magnifier from Nikon isn't quite enough, this is a little too much. It lets you see only the center of the focusing screen -- and if you're shooting macro and such, that makes even finding your subject a bit of a struggle. Once you've found it, though, it is a fine aid to focusing.I anticipate that this will prove to be of more use in very controlled situations, where the camera is on a tripod and rail and one can readily flip it up for framing and coarse focus, then flip it down to establish precise focus. But for hand-held work, it's a little much.

they don't mention Nikon D800 here for a reason! this expensive eyepiece does not work on Nikon D800 cameras without the very overpriced trivial $20 intermediate ring. the description to this eyepiece mentions that the additional ring is "optional". well, it wasn't included in my option, and I was forced to order it separately.so the whole thing is in $100 range for Nikon D800. probably, you can ask for free ring for their price in the future. I don't expect many buyers are so desperate for this thing for this range of price.focusing with manual lenses is easier, but it's not perfect or very convenient. not very stable and the rubber part is falling off all the time.

I received the eye piece today and am very impressed with it. HOWEVER, I wish that the item description would have mentioned that you also have to buy an "optional" piece for nearly $8.00. more before you can attach the eye piece to your camera!!!! Optional?? Only if you want to actually want to use the eye piece! Well I ordered the "OPTIONAL" piecce but it will not arrive until 2-4 weeks. Thanks for making your description so clear.

I found this to work well. The diopter compensation works for me even though the standard diopter compensation on Nikon camera viewfinders is inadequate to correct for my bad eyesight. You really want to be able to use this without glasses because the rubber eyecup will help seal out extraneous light and also makes the field of view larger than if you use it with glasses.Another review which criticizes the "20 year old technology" is way off. It works fine and nothing beyond good optics is needed for this particular application. Flip up the eyepiece to frame the shot, flip it down to focus. Easy.

Please refer to two fotos added by OddJobber in description above.I keep this mounted on-camera most of the time. It has improved by closeup and macro shots 100%!My ONLY complaint is that the diopter adjustment works too easily and has no markings. Just flipping it open to compose the shot then back down to fine-tune focus usually results in resetting the diopters. A couple of dots painted with a toothpick let me quickly reset focus for MY EYES. I guess a drop of super glue would hold it in place for your adjustment if you don't care whether anyone else ever uses it.

Works as described but a bit awkward in practice. It would be nice if it didn’t clock on the adapter and if you could lock the diopter.

I bought this for my Nikon 3200 and it works great, fits well and is well made. I've since moved to my Canon 5D MII for Micro and do wish that this was also made to fit that camera.

Great piece of kit however it is totally ridiculous that you have to buy an adapter to actually attach it to your camera!

This is handy for getting your focus spot on if you have the time to fiddle about with it, so therefore more appropriate for landscape photography.It is, however, ridiculous that at this price you also need an adaptor to fit it to the camera. Wakey wakey, Nikon!

Works very well, am very pleased with it.

Exactly what I wanted. A typical Nikon high quality item which will prove to be very useful when taking close-ups

very pleased
