## Overview

The Nikon DK-17M Magnifying Eyepiece is a premium accessory designed for full-frame DSLRs, providing a 1.2x magnification for enhanced viewing. Compatible with various models, it ensures easy installation and superior optical performance, making it an essential tool for serious photographers.

## Description

The Nikon DK-17M Magnifying Eyepiece for D4, D3, D2 & D1 Series, D800, D700, F6, F5, F4 Cameras increases the viewfinder magnification by approximately 1.2x for added viewing precision. Note! May partially obscure the viewfinder status display on some cameras.

Review: Best Accessory Ever! - For the money this is by far the greatest add-on accessory and I have these on all my camera's. This makes the already large view finder's of my Nikon D4s and D850 even larger! This is both helpful for wide-angle lenses and super-telephoto lenses, it makes the optical viewfinder experience so much better. I use these in conjunction with the Nikon DK-19 rubber eye-cup and with the included plastic ring, both stay in place really well. There is the added benefit of not getting face grease all over the back screen of the camera as this setup sticks out a ways as well. Hopefully one day Nikon will make a new version though that has the fluorine coating applied, that's the only thing that stinks about replacing the DK-17F that came with the D850. Overall though this is made really well, Nikon quality engineering and a pretty decent price to performance ratio in my opinion.
Review: Improves user experience - I'm glad I took a chance on this magnifier. Even though Nikon claims (and reviewers too) that Nikon Df has a big and beautiful viewfinder, that isn't accurate. It's actually pretty small compared to other cameras and fairly dim. Magnification isn't great overall and corners of the image were hard to see. This viewfinder magnifier brings the apparent size of the image to acceptable levels. The image appears big enough for manual focusing and the image isn't any more obscured than without it. Installation was fairly simple and the increase in size is manageable.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi. Will it work on a F5?**
A: Hi. According to BHphoto YES. I do not possess an F5.

**Q: will this work on nikon d3100**
A: It will not work on d3100. It only works on D700,D800 or D4 which have a round view finder

**Q: Is it compatible with the D800?**
A: Yup!http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Eyepieces/4793/DK-17M-Magnifying-Eyepiece.html#tab-ProductDetail-ProductTabs-CompatibleWith

**Q: I often shoot with manual lenses, has anyone found that this helps with focusing manually? I often disregard the focusing dot with manual lenses.**
A: Provided your diopter is set correctly, it helps. You can still see the entire focus screen, I’m not sure what AstroBob is talking about. However, manually focusing is still a skill in its own, and buying an accessory won’t make you a master overnight.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Accessory Ever!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Noticeably improved manual focus
*by S***S on January 14, 2012*

I enjoy both the price and size of older manual focus lenses. Unfortunately, critical focus and my geezer eyes are not always the best match, particularly with wide angle lenses, where it is sometimes hard to discern what's absolutely in focus, and what's just falling within the acceptable depth of field. I was not confident that the 20% magnification this eyepiece provides would be enough to make a difference, but I'm very pleased with how well it works. I've so far used it with wide angle and macro lenses; focusing is indeed remarkably easier. Other comments: Installation was 20 seconds. I wear glasses, and have no problems using this without the optional rubber eye cup. I can see everything in the viewfinder, including the info at the bottom, easily. That it is slightly thicker than the regular eyepiece gives the tip of the nose a little more room before smashing into the back of the camera. Less smash=more comfort. A bonus feature. As with all accessories Nikon/photographic, this is very overpriced for what it is. I dock it a star for that.
