DIY Viewfinder Magnifier
How to make a Viewfinder Magnifier for your Camera
Eventually most of us will end up needing spectacles for reading, the older we get the more our eyesight deteriorates and the day will come when the dioptres on our cameras can no longer be adjusted. About four years ago I was about three + clicks from the end of the dioptre adjustment on my Nikon D7200 and last year I reached the end, the last click went by, and sooner or later I was going to have to purchase a viewfinder magnifier, but which one to get? What if it's no good, what about the expense? Getting a proper Nikon one was out of the question due to the cost. Anyway, it seems that there are two basic types of viewfinder magnifier, ones with adjustable focusing and ones with fixed focusing that simply act in the same way as your spectacles enabling better focusing and slightly magnifying and keeping in focus what you see in your camera's viewfinder. Essentially this basic eyepiece is just a rubber cup with a lens in it. So I set about making one for myself, and it works, in fact it works so well that I made another one as a spare.
