Always Use a Rubber (Eyecup)
Always Have One on You
Photography means often getting yourself in an unexpected situation. But there is one underappreciated accessory that can make your life a lot easier.
Always on - the Nikon DK-19
It is a small rubber accessory – the Nikon DK-19 Rubber Eyecup.
But why do I like it so much?
Folded down, it provides a larger surface area to put your eye against.
Folded up, it effectively prevents any stray light to get into the viewfinder or your eye. In some situations, that can really make a huge difference.
It is inexpensive and well made.
It is sustainable, as you can remove it and mount it on your new Nikon camera in case you decide to upgrade your camera.
How to Put It On?
It is actually pretty easy, just close the eyepiece shutter and unscrew the ring, get the small metal ring out and put the new rubber eyecup over it. Make sure it fits nice and tight, you don’t want to loose it in the heat of the battle.
Mounting a new Nikon DK-19 on my Nikon D800. Don’t throw away the old eyepiece cover.
If you think you’ve got everything for your camera, think again and get this accessory. Verdict: Money well spent.
