The eyepiece fittings on the D3 are locked to unlock lower the eyepiece shutter lever before trying to unscrewing. Its a neat piece of Nikon design that ensures eyepieces or adapters dont fall off and foreign objects stay out of the prism

I suppose you’ll have to destroy the ring in your bid to remove it.

I have a real problem with this product. The ring you have to attach to my D3s viewfinder is jammed on and will not turn anti-clockwise. It prevents me from re-placing my proper viewfinder.

Any ideas how this can be resolved?

I had the same problem (only a minor one tho’) with the cheap plastic construction of the eyepiece adaptor (for a Canon D400).

The adaptor is a good and tight fit on the camera. However, the Seagull easily detaches from the adaptor. Resolved it by semi-permanently attaching the adaptor to the Seagull, since I only need to use it with the one camera. Superglue could be used. I used a small screw.

No problems since.

No problem; I happen to be online at the moment.

I think it’s a reasonable price. Sure beats Canon’s price for their own angle finder!

Thanks for the super fast response!! So if I could get this item for $64.45. Do you think this would be a resonable price? Thanks!

Hi Roger, The picture on this page is illustrative only; my Seagull Angle Finder comes with plastic adapter plates. There is now a 3rd generation Seagull Angle Finder available from this online store operating out of Singapore. I am not in any way affiliated with this store.

Hello, Concerning the seagull right angle finder. None of the ones that I am finding on the internet. Seem to have the metal adapter plate. They all seem to have plastic adapters. The one that is illistrated on your page has a metal attachment. And also, the type 1, and type 2. Is the type 1 the one that is only 1x? I would like to purchase this item, but am a little confused as to which one I am buying. The comparision page is showing both the 1x and the 1x-2x types. Is this what you mean by type one, and type two? Totally confused! Thanks alot.

It appears that they now have two models (both called Version 2). One has 1x-2x and the other has 1x-2.5x. Anyone with experience with the latter? Specifically, I was wondering if it is of equal brightness. The only difference is that the 2.5x model says “9 elements in 8 groups” as opposed to the “9 elements in 5 groups” of the 2x model. I wonder if this makes any difference in the brightness. I will be using for low-light work, so loss of light is a big consideration. Having the extra mag would be nice.
