Customer Reviews

I can see again.
I recently went to the eye doctor for my routine exam, and discovered I needed a -2.7 diopter correction. So I bought a corrective eyepiece for my Nikon D70.

The diopter choices from Nikon are in whole diopters (-1.0, -2.0, and so on), so for my eyes, my choices were either -2.0 or -3.0. As the built-in viewfinder in the camera has a correction of -1.6 to +0.5, everything comes in focus at the very end of the viewfinder's adjustment range. I didn't realize that the camera's adjustment was nearsighted weighted, so I probably would have bought a -2.0 rather than the -3.0; but the -3.0 works. What the hey; I will probably become more nearsighted as I age anyway.

The caveat here is that unless you know for sure, this might be the one time to take your camera to a local store and try the different correction lenses rather than on-line ordering.

But as soon as you have found the correct lens, its like night-and-day. Sure, you have to take your eyeglasses off to use the viewfinder, but you gain back the depth-of-view you lose when trying to look through your glasses. I would encourage anyone that needs corrective lenses to try one. Its an inexpensive solution.

Exactly What You Think
No more mooshing my glasses up against the eyepiece! Yay! This works just precisely as indicated -- easy breezy to attach, and as long as you have the CORRECT prescription (I got the wrong one the first time; whoops!), you'll be very happy. As always, I am beyond pleased with Adorama's speed, price, and service.
