It is exactly as advertised. I would have loved instructions on the best kind of adhesive to use to attach it with, but no such luck. Still: it is exactly what I needed.

My Nikon camera did not come with an eyepiece. Got the right part in a short time.

Misplaced this part on my D3,and wasn't sure of the item number. Using the Chat helped greatly and saved time

The packaging was very complete... the eyepiece is fully protected in a plastic snap-open case.. all this enclosed in the factory sealed clear plastic little bag. The glass of the eyepiece is clear and clean... it fit my Nikon DF just fine.... it takes a little finesse to screw it into the camera viewfinder because the threads on the eyepiece are slotted or non-continuous and thus get a little crossed up unless the item is perfectly aligned. Now... I would not have needed this item if the original eyepiece had stayed in the camera viewfinder... it repeated came loose while in use and one day I could not find it when it fell out... ( had found it successfully the several previous times).

Second one we've replaced. Nikon should have had a set screw or something to lock them in place better. Cheap way to keep the viewfinder sealed against dust

Perfect replacement for a lost DK-17. Lost the original DK-17 when I was using a DK-17M.

Be assured of optimal viewfinder sharpness with the DK-17 Replacement Eyepiece, specifically designed for select Nikon cameras. This high-quality accessory allows you to customize your SLR viewfinder's clarity in line with your individual eyesight, ensuring a clear and accurate view of your photographic subject.
The DK-17 Replacement Eyepiece is more than just a dust protector. It's a reliable and durable tool that enhances your photography experience. Each Nikon eyepiece diopter is marked with a plus, minus, or neutral numeric diopter value, allowing you to choose the perfect diopter for your vision and camera model.
Nikon SLR cameras without built-in adjustable eyepiece correction have a base diopter value of minus one, considered the ideal starting point for most SLR users with normal vision. The combination of the camera's viewfinder components and a clear standard eyepiece creates a virtual image on the camera's focusing screen, equivalent to a viewing distance of approximately one meter.
The DK-17 Replacement Eyepiece's diopter value, when combined with the viewfinder's minus one value, gives you the final result. There's no need for complex calculations; if you need a diopter of plus 3, simply add a plus 3 diopter to your camera.
Neutral correction eyepieces do not replace the standard eyepiece but adjust the camera's diopter value from minus one to zero. To determine the best Nikon diopter value for you, consult with your ophthalmologist, optometrist, or dispensing optician.
Some Nikon SLR cameras come with built-in adjustable eyepiece correction. Check your instruction manual to see if additional threaded Nikon eyepiece diopters can be combined with your camera's built-in diopter control. For cameras with this feature, use additional Nikon eyepiece diopters only if your vision requires further fine-tuning for optimal viewfinder sharpness.
With the DK-17 Replacement Eyepiece, you can enjoy a personalized, high-quality photography experience, compatible with your Nikon camera and your vision.
