| Sometime ago I read about the possibility to put a Nikon eye magnifying

| because without it, it's just an empty cup). It fits like a glove and the
| view is very much improved, no if's, buts or maybe's about that.
| BUT! I did like the original big eye cup of the Sony. So I started to chop
| around and now I finished. Mind the fact that the whole thing stands a
| little off from the camera, but for me that's not important.

| You have to take the rubber ring away from the Nikon, even they tell you
it
| can't be done. RIGHT!
|
| Then you also have to do some trimming on the Sony cup to make it fit.
| To keep the eye starter to work, you also need to trim a bit at the bottom
| of the Nikon: just take some away, try if it work, take some away again,
| etc.

| There you go: perfect OVF with a 17% bigger view. Believe me: that's much!
| Any questions: just ask.

nice work
