Bigger Eyepice for D70

[NikonUser]

Hi there everyone,

Just a quick question... I've seen some pictures around on the net of a D70 with a much larger eyepiece (like a rubber cup).

Can anyone tell me what this is and where I can get one?

Thanks
Paul

I think Birddog sells them. Funnily enough, I just found this out 5 minutes ago by doing a search on "glasses" as I'm sick of banging my glasses on the back of the d70.

Sorry for my ignorance here...

I've seen Birddog mentioned quite a bit when it comes to discussion about buying things (especially for great prices). Does he own a camera store? Which one?

Thanks

The only eyepice you have on there sounds like it is just a replacement for the one one the camera?

I'm looking for one that is actually quite large (guessing 20-50 cent piece in diameter) that I've seen around on some sites.

Can't seem to find a picture of one at the moment unfortunately

Is this the one you're after?

That's not the one I have seen no. Looks like it might do the job though. Are there any side-on pictures anywhere?

The one I have seen poked out from the back of the camera around 2-3 cms and was round in shape.

I'll keep looking for a picture.

Yes, you can get it by adding two difference parts from Nikon.

1/ Eyepiece adapter for F80, F75, F65, F55, D100, D70
2/ Rubber Eyecup DK3 for FM3A or FM2
Cost around $85.00.

That's the one

Thanks

Do you sell those?

I bought a couple of the eyepieces from the D70s. Thjey fit the D70 and actually stay on.

I might have to look into getting something like eventually, I sometimes struggle to line up my shots, or just find it un-comfortable.

That's the one

No! you're the only one want it among 1000 users on this board.
Can't get stock btw.

Those eyecups from Birddog are great. I bought mine a few weeks ago. It's bigger than it looks in those photos!
Does the job nicely.

And a lot better than $85.....

Does anyone have any pictures of it attached to the D70?

Paul,
Members in Melbourne have few of the eyecup attached to their D70.
You may see them at one of the mini meet
