Comments about Nikon DK-17A Anti-Fog Eyepiece for D3, D2 Series, D700 & F6 Cameras:
As a Pro Photographer, I shoot under varying conditions and there is nothing worse than trying to get the perfect shot when you cannot see clearly thru your viewfinder.
The DK-17A Anti-Fog Eyepiece works very well and I never remove it from my D2X.

Comments about Nikon DK-17A Anti-Fog Eyepiece for D3, D2 Series, D700 & F6 Cameras:
The reviewer above is dead on. This does resist fog (though is not even close to fog proof) and when I am sweating and I put my face close, or accidentally breath a bit on it when removing it from my face, it still fogs easily.
Morover, it is NOT coated with any sort of scratch resistant coating. SHooting weddings, I have to wipe it when it fogs using the closest micro-fiber cloth or shirt material. Have no choice, can't lose shots. It is unusable after about 4-5 weddings, scoured and scuffed, way too easily.

Comments about Nikon DK-17A Anti-Fog Eyepiece for D3, D2 Series, D700 & F6 Cameras:
Definitely good antifog properties, however the coating on the glass is not particularly scratch resistant. I do not recommend wiping it with anything! In addition, it's not multicoated like the original glass eyepiece that came with my D700. This means that light sources from behind the photographer can sneak in and cause rather distracting reflections. I use it with the rubber eyecup and still find this to be a problem.

Comments about Nikon DK-17A Anti-Fog Eyepiece for D3, D2 Series, D700 & F6 Cameras:
I've discovered this product (and the DK-19 RUBBER EYECUP) when I used to shoot with a Nikon F5 outside in low temperature.
Fed up not breathing while shooting because of fog problems I was looking for a solution, and this product offered me THE solution for this kind of problems.
I was so happy with it, that when I got the opportunity to buy a D700 with the same kind of viewfinder, I decided to order an Anti-Fog Eyepiece even before I ordered the D700.
Always used with the DK-19, personal choice, just to let people know that it is possible to mount it together.

Comments about Nikon DK-17A Anti-Fog Eyepiece for D3, D2 Series, D700 & F6 Cameras:
Very good product for my D3. I use it for everyday photography. Be careful when cleaning it. I destroyed the anti-fog surface by using a standard micro-lens-cleaning-cloth. The anti-fog cover just went off. Now I have a second one always with me. It was very hard to find this item in Sweden while on vacation..

Comments about Nikon DK-17A Anti-Fog Eyepiece for D3, D2 Series, D700 & F6 Cameras:
I live in Maine where the winters can be trying. The DK-17A Anti-Fog Eyepiece works great. No more fogged eyepiece due to a inadvertant exhale too close to the camera. No problems exerienced. I did buy it again as the first was knocked off the camera and lost. Would buy a third if necessary.
