VIEWFINDERS
AND MAGNIFYING ATTACHMENTS
One
of the many luxuries the Nikon Pro bodies provide, namely the
Nikon F, F2, F3, F4 & F5, is their ability to change the
entire viewfinder assembly to specific finders that are especially
suited for close-up and macro photography.

| For
the rest of the Nikon bodies, both AF and MF, there are
the various right-angle finders, such as the DR-3 or DR-4
Right-Angle Finders, that will attach to the viewfinder
eyepieces (Note: some bodies may require additional adapters).
If one simply requires straight-through magnification
of the viewfinder view, there is also the DG-2 2x Magnifying
Finder that will fit onto the eyepieces.
