Eyepiece correction lens/Eyepiece correction lens DK-17C

Enables near- or far-sighted photographers to adjust the eyepiece diopter to suit

their vision, and can be attached easily by screwing it onto the viewfinder eyepiece. Five optional eyepiece correction lenses provide viewfinder diopter settings of –3,

–2, 0, +1 and +2m–1. We recommend that you actually look through the viewfinder with various correction lenses attached before making a purchase, since viewfinder diopter differs from one person to another. Use the optional eyepiece correction lens when you need eyepiece correction over –2 to +1m–1that can be adjusted using the F6’s diopter adjustment knob. When using an eyepiece correction lens, set the diopter adjustment of the F6 to –1m–1. The eyepiece lock is available with the DK-17C.
