Nikon DK-21M

My DK-21M arrived from B&H today, and I must say it is an absolute godsend for D50 (and I suppose the D70/s) users. Unless you shoot with glasses on.

It magnifies the VF image by 1.2x, so the D50's 0.75 becomes about 0.90. Helps a lot with the tunnel vision. I had a friend's D80 to compare and the D50's VF size is now pretty much the same.

The eyepiece is made of plastic, but I did not notice any degradation of the VF's image. With the bigger view, manual focusing is a lot more doable.

At $24, definitely a worthwhile accessory.
