Since my eye surgery, using my Nikon 7100 has been difficult. This diopter solved the problem.

I'm glad these supplementary viewfinder eyepieces exist, in my case a +3.0. Many Nikon cameras short those of us needing viewfinder correction on the plus side. These add-ons make viewing a pleasure without the bother of wearing eyeglasses, which bring their own set of problems when operating the camera. You should remove the viewfinder rubber surround before fitting the diopter. It can't be used with the diopter lens. I highly recommend this inexpensive product unless you're happy wearing glasses while photographing.

After figuring out that the protective eye piece had to be removed before installing the diopter, the view was so blurry that I had to remove it.

Ordering on-line was easy. Shipment was quicker than expected. I matched the diopter with my reading glasses but seems to be to strong. The only disappointing thing is that the rubber eyepiece does not slip into the grove of the new diopter, the grove is smaller that on the original.

The original diopter corrector embedded in the camera is almost in the borderline of my sight. So, by using this diopter corrector plus giving it the fine tunning with the camera one my view became a 20! However; I don't like the fact that the rubber viewfinder protector can not be used anymore! Nikon should develop the DK-20C so the rubber protection be use it on it! My 10 cents!

I purchased an -2 diopter. My glasses were too strong and the negative 2 worked excellent I could use the D7000 diopter adjuster to dial in my correction totally awesome!!!!!!!

Best thing since poloroid; just kidding, works really well for those of us who are trying to get manually focused while burdened with lousy vision but love photography, should have bought this years ago. Especially useful at longer focal legnths! Mike

A must if you want to focus through the lens and you're nearsighted like me.

It's like reading glasses - if you need it - get it.

Product as described. Critical as I don't shoot with my glasses on. Ask your eye doctor how much correction you need and get more then use the diopter adjustment. Just wish Nikon made it easy to put these on. They are NOT easy.

The diopter correction eyepiece works well with a new D750. Easy to install / remove and effective as intended. But the eyepiece is similar to some other Nikon corrective eyepieces: It does not accept eyecups (at least, any that I've found - suggestions welcomed). Can be troublesome in bright sunlight. So, just pick your situation in which to use it.

Can't rate product since I ordered the +2 thinking that was what I needed since my reading glasses are that strenght. Big miss. Not worth the hassle to return because of the price. I will get the right one, once I visit my eye doctor and she tells me what the strenght should be. No problems fitting it into my D5000, the only thing is you will have to McGyver the rubber eye protector that came with the camera, otherwise it does not fit once you put this adapter in

It works perfectly with my viewfinder. Now I have to remember to take my glasses OFF! I can live with that.

20/20 vision as a young wippersnapper, older than dirt now and this is a neccessity when using the viewfinder!

Fits directly onto the camera and allows the eye ring to be fitted onto the diopter. Allows me to use the viewfinder without my glasses. You just need to know which strength you need. I asked my optometrist.

It worked great. I was at the end of my adjustment on the camera, and now somewhere in the middle. I can finally judge focus without using glasses!

I got a Nikon 7100 — the only SLR I've used since I rented a Nikon and three great lenses for a trip to the Florida Keys in about 1975. I loved shooting that holiday, but have not had an SLR in my hands five times since then. My eyes were very good until I began to age; now I'm 64 and currently trying trifocals. I use +2.5 reading glasses for computer screens, higher for books. With this little lens inserted and a quick adjustment of the camera diopter, the focus through the viewfinder snapped like it had when I was 25. It is an enormous treat — my world is never in focus like this any more. Before the DK-20C arrived, I had the in-camera diopter adjusted to work with the long focal length of my trifocals; that was okay and no doubt I'll shoot that way a lot of times again, but with that setup I had to scan around the edges of the viewfinder to establish framing — and 'right focus' was a little too much hope and too little confidence. There is plainly plenty of room for me to adjust the camera diopter as the months and years pass, so that I feel quite assured that this device will work for me (like this!) for years (or until I lose it and have to get another). The nice way the D7100 puts the shooting controls on the right under hand means that, effectively, once I have located a subject with my glasses on I can inspect it, adjust and shoot, without needing to put them back on. I'm just really happy with this and recommend it highly to someone who has aging eyesight.

Best part - is just what my eyes need when not wearing glasses by letting me see more clearly through viewfinder. No fun using the viewfinder with glasses. The not so good part - came partially off when putting camera in bag, and ended up breaking one of the holding arms on the diopter. Now to order another. In fact, ordering 3 more. If you buy - buy extra. But I do highly recommend if you don't like wearing corrective eyeglasses when shooting.

I have 2.5 correction glasses so this was necessary to correct the diopter. Easy to install and works, but the eyecup is difficult to re-install after the diopter is installed

My eyesight is corrected using monovisison where my left eye is corrected for reading and my right eye is corrected for distance vision. Since I use my left eye with my Nikon D300 viewfinder I needed more correction than the -2.0 diopter adjustment available through the camera viewfinder. The DK20C -2.0 snapped onto my eyepiece giving me a total of -4.0 diopter which was perfect for my needs. Up till now I have struggled with a fuzzy viewfinder view.

Simple product that works as described, however it was a VERY tight fit with the rubber eyepiece that came with my D7000. I had to file the edges of the diopter for the eyepiece to slip over it. I am not accustomed to using carpentry tools on Nikon products...

My perscription for reading is +2.25 but +1 puts the adjustment just right (for arms length). Glad I didn't buy the +2.

If one is nearsighted or farsighted a diopter correction eyepiece for your Nikon is a must. They work! Intallation takes about five seconds and badda-boom it's done.

Great for people who wear eyeglasses
By Sharee
I bought this because I was tired of having to deal with looking through the viewfinder of my D300 with my glasses. I was not able to see the whole viewfinder with my glasses on, plus I was scratching up my glasses and it was uncomfortable. Now I can easily take pics without my glasses. I wish I had bought this a long time ago. This is highly recommended to anyone who wears eyeglasses. The only thing that may be a problem is the eyecup for the D300 is a tight fit over the eyepiece.
Great

What i needed!!!
A Nikon DK-20C -4.0 Diopter is a reliable and efficient accessory for your Digital SLR camera, designed to enhance your viewfinder's sharpness in harmony with your unique eyesight. This high-quality diopter correction lens, compatible with a wide range of Nikon AF and MF lenses, is specifically engineered to correct near-sightedness with a -4.0 diopter rating.
Unlike standard eyepieces that come with Nikon SLR cameras, which offer no corrective value and serve only as dust protection, this Nikon eyepiece diopter provides a significant improvement in your camera's focus. It's user-friendly and comes with a rubber coating to minimize the risk of scratching your eyeglasses, making it a durable choice for photographers.
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 Nikon DK-20C -4.0 Diopter, when combined with the viewfinder's minus one value, delivers the final desired value without requiring any additional calculations.
This product is not a replacement for the standard eyepiece but an enhancement. Using this diopter will change 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. They can help you determine your diopter from your corrective prescription when viewing an object at a distance of approximately one meter.
For Nikon SLR cameras with built-in adjustable eyepiece correction, additional Nikon eyepiece diopters like the DK-20C -4.0 Diopter can be used if your vision requires further optimization beyond the built-in diopter adjustment control. Always refer to your camera's instruction manual to verify compatibility.
In summary, the Nikon DK-20C -4.0 Diopter is a valuable accessory for enhancing your photography experience, offering a personalized focus correction solution for near-sighted photographers.
