alvin_lim5 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hi, I misplaced the rubber eye piece on my F5 viewfinder and would like to get a new piece. Problem is that I am not sure what it is called. I have checked the listed eye pieces for the F5 are the DK 2 and DK 19, but I just want the type that is similar to the original. Anyone has any idea what it is called and roughly how much it will cost? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_276104 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 The DK-19 will work fine - it's pretty much identical to the DK-2, but he hole on the DK-19 is a tiny bit smaller for a DX viewfinder. Aside from the slightly smaller hole, I've only noticed that the DK-19 isn't quite as firm as the DK-2. B&H here in the US has the DK-19 for $8.95 (not sure where you're writing from).

Michael R Freeman Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Eye-CUP or Eye-PIECE? The DK-2 and DK-19 are rubber eyecups, and fit over the original eyepiece (glass with rubber outer ring): http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/ProductDetail.page?pid=4787 The replacement DK-17 eye-PIECE (# 4754 - replacement for #2404) can be found at B&H Photo: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/300678-REG/Nikon_4754_DK_17_Finder_Eyepiece_for.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_hooper1 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Lots of 22mm thread size (F5) eyepieces here which are eyecup, sans eyecup, rubber coated or sans rubber coating, etc: http://www.bocaphoto.com/products/new/nikon/nikonacc.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvin_lim5 Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks guys. I meant the original eyepiece. Thanks all of the suggestion. Problem now I guess is that the shipping to Singapore is not making the ordering from B&H worthwhile. They are charging over US$30 just to ship it over!

Michael R Freeman Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 >"Problem now I guess is that the shipping to Singapore is not making the ordering from B&H worthwhile." If you shop on eBay, I can recommend a seller that ships worldwide very inexpensively (USPS First Class Mail). Search for seller ID "americaneagle_camera", who lists the original OEM eyepiece for the F5. I buy a lot of my Nikon "bits and pieces" from this guy (Bruce Woodman). Fast, friendly, 100% reliable. Also, Boca Photo recommended by Robert above (I have purchased from this vendor several times) ships internationally at economical rates. B&H, while excellent, isn't the only option. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
