{"product_id":"nikon-de-2-prism-finder-f3-l0249","title":"Nikon DE-2 Prism Finder for F3","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe finder the Nikon F3 was designed around. The \u003cstrong\u003eDE-2\u003c\/strong\u003e was the standard eye-level prism shipped with the F3 from its 1980 launch, before the high-eyepoint DE-3 took over as default in 1982 and gave us the F3HP. Purists have been quietly arguing for the DE-2 ever since, and they have a point: it offers 0.8x magnification against the DE-3's 0.75x, and it sits lower and neater on the body, which is much of why an F3 with a DE-2 looks the way it does. Like every F-series professional finder it shows essentially 100% of the frame, and it carries the aperture direct readout window and a built-in eyepiece shutter for long exposures. Because the F3 put its meter in the body rather than the prism, swapping finders costs you nothing in metering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Eye-level pentaprism finder, non-high-eyepoint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Nikon F3, F3HP, F3\/T, F3P — fully interchangeable across the F3 family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnification: 0.8x with a 50mm lens at infinity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame coverage: Approximately 100%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEyepiece shutter: Built in, for blocking stray light during long exposures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReadout: Aperture direct readout window plus the F3's LCD exposure display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetering: Unaffected — the F3's meter lives in the body, not the prism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiopter correction: Eyepiece correction lenses were available from +3 to -5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduced: 1980, as standard equipment on the original Nikon F3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCosmetic: Excellent condition, clean.
