Right Angle Finder

QN · Dec 27, 2002

Hi,

Does anyone use the Nikon DR-4 or DR-3 right angle finder?
I have an S1(N60 Body) which has the square shaped
viewfinder.

I am finding all these right angle viewfinders have a
circular thread.

Is there some kind of adaptor out there?
I want to get a right angle finder but need
to locate an adaptor first.

thanks for your help...

Hello Xl?TXn¬:

The problem with ALL right-angle finders is that they dont view the entire frame.
Great for checking focus, but in practice quite useless, I find.

I use a DR-3 frequently with the D100. Yes, you do need an adapter.

It's a little dohicky we call "the Nikon part with no name". Nikon part number 2370. Availiable at most really well stocked camera shops.

Ciao!

The Nikon right angle finder does view the entire image, including all readouts, on the D100, F100, 8008, FM2, and, I would assume, every other body that Nikon makes. Since you mention "checking focus", I assume you're confusing the "right angle finder" with the "eyepiece magnifier".

Ciao!
