Installation and ordering DK17M to the D100/ D70/ D50

Postby birddog114 on Fri Sep 09, 2005 7:33 am

For whom who wish to have a magnify viewfinder on the D100/ D70/ D50

A Google translation from the Japanese version, how to install the DK-17M to the D100/ D70/70s/ D50 and information of ordering the neccessary parts

Original Japanese version:
http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/item/ ... /2242.html

Google translation:

P.S: I know, there are few wrong wording and mis-spelled but who cares!

Birddog this looks like a good way to go. Do you know if these people are reliable to deal with?

I placed an order with them this morning for 10 sets, and these are mainly for our members, if you can wait I'll let you know what the outcome is. Perhaps will have one reserved for you.

I would also be interested in buying one if there is one available when your order comes through, Birdy.

Hi All,
