Nikon DG-2 2x Eyepiece Magnifier
[ Posted: 2008-11-08 ]
I think people do NOT understand that this is for close up work not for a dedicated "viewfinder"
The metal hinge is there if you want to see the complete viewfinder/image to make sure that your subject is framed correctly etc, then switch back to the magnifier and focus.
Again, for close-up/macro work it is outstanding and a great help for dead on clear and precise focusing...nothing more.
Have been using this for years, even in the late 80's you could not find one of these for less than $50.00!!! So I can not see how they are over-priced. Considering inflation I would say that prices have decreased and still a good value for THE CORRECT INTENDED USE!
Nikon DG-2 2x

2X Eyepiece magnification for Nikon SLR Cameras Does what it is supposed to do. For closeup focus and Macro work it is a "Got to Have".
good for macro and manual focus

For many uses the DR-6 is better...but that one costs almost four times as much as this one.
If your main use is macro work then the DG-2 is a much better value.
don't buy this

When you look through the eye piece you can only see about 20% of the viewing area. This might be good for portraits or macro, but hardly worth it. If it were about 3 times larger it would be great, but its not and it sucks.
Expensive & Way too Small

Nikon usually puts out a quality product, but this eyepiece magnifier is not one of them. The small viewing area defeats any benefit of added magnification. By the way, this originally fit the round eyepieces of the F series cameras.{That should tip you off, it's about 20+ year old technology}. You need an adapter piece to fit the rectangular eyepieces of the DSLR's
If you do buy it remember that you must focus it by turning the eyepiece lubber part). Never mind, Don't buy this.
