DW-4 eyecup

[jon_shumpert2]

<p>Hi, I am curious if anyone can help me locate just the eyecup for the Nikon DW-4 finder. I bought mine several months ago without the eyecup. i didn't think I would need it, but I find that focusing on the screen is difficult without it. It seems that the distance of my eye from the finder affects the focus on the screen. Is this normal? I feel the eyecup would help, but don't want to buy another DW4 just for the eyecup. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Jon.</p>

<p>Have you tried the big online dealers? I know KEH lists "viewfinder & prism accessories". Also be advised that many Nikon eyecups are interchangeable. For example, most of the early manual bodies utilized the same threaded eye cups.</p>

<p>The eyecup for the DW-4 (6X "chimney" finder) appears to be unique to that particular viewfinder. The eyecup for the <a href="http://www.destoutz.ch/acc_finder_f2_dw-2_2.html">DW-2 (F2)</a> looks similar, but that isn't going to be any easier to find than the one for the F3.</p>

<p>The 6X finders for the F4 and F5 have a different style of eyecup, but they might fit.</p>

<p>In addition to Steve's suggestion you might want to check <a href="http://www.pacificrimcamera.com/">Pacific Rim Camera</a>.<br /> -</p>

<p>I believe so, at least with certain focusing screens.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help. I had not considered calling Nikon because I was sure they wouldn't have it, but I was wrong. I ordered it today. Thanks again.</p>
