Nikon D70 and D70s Eyepeice

Postby kipper on Sun May 29, 2005 2:28 pm

I was looking for a replacemen for the Rubber Eyepeice for my D70 and something I think I noticed is that the D70 uses the DK-16 and the D70s uses the DK-20. Is there any size differences or just different style?

FWIW, I like the DK-20 eyepiece on the d70s. It is larger than the one that came on the d70, IIRC. I plan to pick up some spares, when they become available.

So the viewfinder hasn't changed at all, just new styling.

Are we discussing the same topic here? :?
Is there any chance Birddog can source these new eyepieces? :D

Yes, I can but the DK-20 is not better than the Rubber eyecup which we have, and it comes out loose easier than the original came with the D70.

Hi !!

I live in France and I lost my eyecup... I bought this one as a replacement and it's a far better piece than the original eyecup:
