5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it is supposed to, August 10, 2008

The DK-19 very easily mounts onto the D3 or D700 (and, for that matter, also on the D2 series as well as the F6 and probably most other Nikon cameras with a round eyepiece) without the need of any adapters or anything. All you need is the DK-19 -- and you need to read (and follow) the instructions that come with it -- and you are all set.

I have no idea what kind of problems the other reviewer had -- it almost seems as if Carlos had written about attaching the DK-3 to a D200 (or some other camera with rectangular viewfinder). For the DK-3 to fit on the D200 one indeed needs the DK-22 adapter and a couple more pieces. Yet, as I said, this is not the case for the DK-19, at least not when you attach it to a D3 or D700.

The DK-19 eyepiece forms a seal between eye and viewfinder and thus keeps out stray light that may otherwise distract the photographer (or maybe even the light meter). This accessory is nothing super-fancy, but it does what it is supposed to very well. It is cheap enough to just buy it to try it -- and I'll bet once you have tried it you'll love it.

I don't know why somebody complained, but it worked perfectly for my D700. Just follow the attached instruction, and installation should be no problem. It's just a two-piece product, simple, cheap, and most of all, it works.

This is a great item for Nikon camara's with the ROUND eye piece i.e. D700, D3, D3X & so on. The DK 19 eye cup allows you to not have your face smashed up against the rear of the camara. Honestly I do not know why Canon & Nikon do not make these stanard for their camara's (expecially the high end one's). Putting it together is easy just follow the supplied instructions. It help's alot when you wear glasses which I do. Get one they are cheap & do a better job than the OEM!
