geoffgp Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 <p>Anyone got a +0.5 dioptric lens for an F-1 they no longer need? Can't find one anywhere. I didn't think they ever made a +0.5 for the F-1 but saw one on a New F-1N the other day.<br> Thanks Geoff</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsharpe411 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 <p>Geoff...they are interchangeable.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_janes Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 <p>These half-increment diopters are harder to find. I wonder though...many Nikons used round eyepieces, for which dioptric adjustment lenses were made. KEH has boatloads of 'em, priced less than the Canon pieces.<br> A good old-school optician could also craft one, with anti-reflective coatings even!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffgp Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 <p>Hi Rick - I have one or two Nikon diopters, but even the largest diameter ones for the F/F2 are a smaller diameter and different thread anyway.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_pierlot Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 <p>Geoff, why don't you just pick up the F-1N? :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffgp Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 <p>Because I'm quite happy with my F-1! </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_502260 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 <p>I know I mentioned this before but I had Ken Ruth at Photography On Bald Mountain in Davenport, CA take the glass out of a Nikon diopter (FE/FM etc.) and transplant it into a round Konica eyepiece for the Autoreflex T/A series. The Nikon diopters seem to be the most plentiful and least expensive. The round Canon diopters fpr the F-1 cameras are more rare. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffgp Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 <p>Jeff, they are rare indeed. But how do I transplant a smaller diameter Nikon diopter lens into a larger diameter Canon eyepiece?! I think I'll just keep my specs on!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_502260 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 <p>You would need a ring to span the short distance between the Nikon glass and the Canon eyepiece but it could certainly be done.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julio_m Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 <p>Geoff, sent you a PM. Have a +1 if you can use it, and other FD stuff.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
