Eyecup for D3

Georgi · Feb 22, 2008

Guys, is there a bigger eyecup for the D3 viewfinder?

I can't find one on BH or on Nikons site.

Thanks

George

I think the DK-19 is the eyecup you want. Should be the same one the D2X/h and F6 uses. I have one on my D3.

I've been using a DK-2 eyecup on my D2H for years, just switched it over to my D3. It's been very durable despite a lot of abuse.

I don't know what the difference is between the DK-2 and DK-19.

Just a heads up, I ordered the DK-19 from Boca (Precision Photo) on January 19th and still have not received it. I searched around a bit and it looks like its on backorder several places. Still cant get Boca to confirm that after several emails though.

I lucked out and bought both of mine in Hong Kong - while there on a business trip.

I'll probably pick up a couple while I am there again this April.

I use a DK-17 magnifier, and a soft rubber eyeguard from Orion Telescopes:

It is the one on the left. It slips over the DK-17, and I secured it with a black plastic cable tie. You can see it here:

Hey guys, I got a guy that sells cheap lens and body caps if someone's interested.

Just got some from him today for my lenses. Haven't tried them yet but I'll let you know.

The other guys said it should fit. Do I need to call Nikon then?

The eyepiece on the D3 is the same as on the D2 series (D2H/D2Hs/D2X/D2Xs). At least, I assume that because I just pulled my DK-2 off of my D2H and put it on my D3 and it went on exactly the same way.

According to this site, the DK-19 works with the D3:

http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Photography-Accessories/Eyepieces/4787/DK-19%20Rubber%20Eyecup.html

The DK-2 no longer appears in the listing and it may have been discontinued, even though it will work with the D3

Georgi, I have both the DK-2 and DH-19 eyecups. There is very little difference, if any, in size and shape. The only practical difference I have been able to detect is that the DK-19 seems to be made of slightly softer more flexible rubber, and so it conforms to your eye or glasses (for those that need them) a little more efficiently and more comfortably.

Go with the DK-19 if you can find it in stock.
