Great for aging eyes.

I wear readers (1.5 power) to read now and this eyepiece brings my diopter back into the middle range.

Nice but consider DK-17M instead

It's a shame they didn't design these to allow a combination of both a DK-17M and a DK-17C. At least for myself, I'm stuck with the choice of a DK-17C which allows me nice adjustment for a good crisp view or the DK-17M which provides just a little bit of magnification (it is noticeable). Both are easy to swap out on a D810. Both are an improvement over the stock diopter. I have decided to use the DK-17M since I prefer the magnification over just the diopter focus improvement. Luckily my eyesight is at the point where an extreme adjustment of the diopter (with DK-17M) is acceptable.

diopter lens for Nikon

If you are far sighted you must get this, especially if you focus manually. In order to install it, you have to flip the viewer cover with the knob close to the lens.

Corrects vision

Like to shoot without glasses. This eyepiece does most of the correction and then can fine tune on camera

Great...

I had reached the limit of the eyepiece correction with two of my cameras that prevented getting good focus. After installing the correction lens, this greatly improved focusing ability. Ah.. the pitfalls of aging eyeballs!

Helpful

I was not quite able to get the built in diopter adjustment perfect so decided to add this eyepiece and then fine tune with the camera's diopter. It works perfectly. I use less diopter on the camera and get clear viewfinder without glasses.

Does the job

Works fine. The thing to be aware of with these is that the stated diopter value is not the corrective power of the eyepiece itself, but the combined diopter of the eyepiece in combination with the rest of the viewfinder optics.

perfect

I had to tear the rubber off of the standard eye piece to unscrew it. Wouldn't budge otherwise. New diopter screwed right in and works perfectly for my vision. Diopter adjustment is now in the center of the adjustment range.

Easy to use, nice to have

Nice to use when you have glasses....just screw this into the finder piece and take off your specs....(provided you are as nearsighted as me) and then camera composing is a lot easier!
