New DK-17M magnifying eyepiece

[joolz]

Some talk on other forums about this new eyepiece which magnifies the VF image by 1.2x. Only available for D1, D2, F4, F5 & F6 cameras though. Apparently gives almost as good a size image as the 1DS VF.
In short supply apparently.

Damn... Yet another reason to upgrade to the D2X.

Julian, nice option for next to no money

jools,
They're on my way, I have one btw!
I've found them last month and ordered 10 of those.
They will be very nice with the DK-2 rubbereyecup, extensive large viewfinder on the D2 serises or F5/F6.
The damage is around $80 bucks each, without the DK-2 rubbereyecup.
What else do you want?

I am guessing Julian would like the D2X to drop to $3k so he can get one to put the eyepiece on.

I may be interested in the Dk-13 angled viewfinder
and the dk-17 magnifying eyepiece, is it compatible with the D2X?

I do some tight macro work with my 50mm lens but it's hard to see details through the viewfinder for near perfect manual focussing, currently i am using a prism I bought on ebay as a right angled viewfinder and magnifying device, but as you may imagine a prism crystal the size of my head used with a huge camera these days looks suspiciously whacky.

Yes, Birddog. I wouldn't mind paying $1K for the eyepiece if the D2X body were to drop to $3K

US$3K is going to be

And I would happily pay $3K US if I were being paid in US dollars.
Alas, I am not...
