Nikon F2 Photomic eyepiece/ring?

<p>I picked up a Nikon F2 Photomic which needed a rubber eye cup. I purchased a DK-3 which is the recommended rubber cup for the Nikon F2 series, however, the ring (which did not have glass) the was attached to the camera was too short or shallow (not enough threads) to screw the rubber eye cup to the camera. Do you know where I might obtain the proper ring, preferably, in glass to attach the rubber eye cup?</p>

<p>Here's the Nikon page that lists what eyepiece goes with what ...<br /> <a href="http://www.nikonusa.com/en_INC/IMG/Assets/Common-Assets/PDF/Eyepiece_Compatibility_Chart_07012008.pdf">http://www.nikonusa.com/en_INC/IMG/Assets/Common-Assets/PDF/Eyepiece_Compatibility_Chart_07012008.pdf</a></p>

<p>oops ... doesn't go back that far ...</p>

You might try Boca Camera- they carry a

range of stuff for nikons, inc eyepieces and

strap rings etc

Sorry that's Boca Photo

<p>On the old F, the rubber part of the eye cup usually attaches to a variety of rings, including the diopters and the plain glass, and if you had one with a ring on it, you'd either remove the others and attach it to the eyepiece, or transfer the rubber ring to an existing eyepiece.</p>

<p>I bought a new F2AS in 1977 and it didn't come with the eyepiece ring.</p>

<p>Thank you on that Boca Photo. It seems that they have the retaining rings and eye cups. </p>

<p>The Nikon F2 shares the same eyepiece size (18mm) as the FA/FE/FE2/FM/FM2 and probably others. I just checked on eBay. There is a variety of stuff there that might serve your needs.</p>

<p>I tried to order from Boca Photo. It appears that they are a bogus internet company. I never received the item. Luckily, so far I have not been billed. I tried contacting them with no response. I also checked resellerratings and they get a 1/5. </p>

<p>Wow - I'm sorry to hear that. I used them a couple of times years ago for small stuff - strap rings etc - no problems at that point</p>

<p>I have owned various F2 finders, from the original Photomic to the SB to the AS. The ones that had the black ring around them were not rubber, but hard plastic, which helped my glasses very little. Most of the finders that were missing the black piece, the threads had cracks in them, making me unsure if they'd hold anything you tried screwing in.</p>
