The Nikon DR-6 provides an upright, unreversed image for right-angle viewing, very convenient for waist-level or low-angle photography. Individual eyesight adjustment is possible with the built-in diopter, and the reproduction ratio can be set to 1:1 or 1:2. This version can be used with all Nikon SLR cameras that feature a rectangular viewing eyepiece, such as the D50, D70, D70s, D100, N80, N75, N70, N65, N60, N55, N50, N2000, N2020, N4040, N4004s, N5005, N6000, N6006, EM, FG, and Pronea 6i.

The DR-6 doesn't work with Nikon D850 if you have those you need DR-5

excellent product, works as described, I'm using on a D7100, should fit other cameras with a rectangular viewfinder too, however will NOT fit the D850 and others with a round viewfinder, for that use DR-5.

On va dire que pour le prix il y a plutôt intérêt que ce soit un très bon produit Et je confirme ouf ! C'est vraiment très pratique pour ne pas ce tordre à en deux, le réglage de la mise au point du viseur et très agréable puis la fonction loupe (x2) est tout aussi pratique et fiable.Aucun jeu de fonctionnement et reste bien en place sur l'appareil, pas de risque de chute involontaire ci on fait un tant soit peu attention à cette excroissance qui dépasse de l’arrière du boitier.

This is a fantastic piece of equipment. Well built to usual Nikon standards, the optics are crystal clear and the mechanics are rock solid. It comes in a bag which has a pocket inside for you to put the eyepiece that you remove from the camera to prevent loss.The fit itself to the camera is strong, and the manual even warns you that you should work slowly and take care to remove it so that it doesn't fly off and fall on the floor. This nearly happened to me, so consider yourself doubly warned!The arm of this right angle viewer can be positioned to any angle, although it locks at all four right angles. The locking action has a nice feel.The diopter adjust thread is very smooth and won't slip when your eye is against the cup, and the eyecup itself is large to get a good seal against glasses or around the eye.In operation, there's a 2x magnification setting that gives a 2:1 reproduction ratio. Again, the build and action on that lever is super smooth. For low down work on the ground, this cannot be beaten.Again, this is simply a fantastic piece of equipment, and although a little pricey, you won't regret the purchase and the creative opportunities it unlocks.

I use this with both my D300 and D3100. Used where focus is critical, or craning the neck to see the viewfinder or display screen is dificult.Very good for astrophoto application. "Live View" is slightly better for telescope or "wide open" aperatures, but not always practical (neck wringing has its limits!).Excellent for macro work. If you can stop down 1 or 2 stops, the depth of field will more than make up for any slight discrepancy between the ground glass and the sensor plane!Nikon pricey, but Nikon worth it!

Four years ago I started thinking about a right-angle viewfinder and was put-off by the cost of the Nikon product. I did locate a less expensive product called Seagull which works with a number of different cameras via adaptors. I bought that model and quickly found the right-angle viewfinder to be indispensable to my work (mainly nature shots). I used it constantly and the adaptor for the Nikon camera finally gave out. I couldn't locate anywhere to buy just the adaptors and since the tool had become so important for me I decided to take the plunge with the Nikon DR-6. I am very pleased with it. The optics are better, definitely brighter and more clear which makes focusing easier. And the fit on my camera is excellent. I don't understand comments from people who say it is shaky. I was happy with the Seagull and if you are going to be using this type of tool infrequently then save the money. But if you like getting different angles, especially lower, and find getting up and down a lot harder than it used to be then do yourself a favor and go with the DR-6.

The Nikon DR-6 Right Angle Viewfinder is just the ticket for getting shots where you need to get on an 'eye level' with your subject or you need to get the camera a few inches off the floor. As my body is not as flexible as it once was and I was never one to want to kiss the floor while shooting from a low angle, the DR-6 really helps. It comes with a carring case that I can attach to a belt or camera strap so I can keep it handy in the field. Because the viewfinder rotates, it can be used landscape, portrait, or even overhead. It can be a little touchy to focus because you need to set the camera lens focus and the viewfinder focus. If you don't check the viewfinder focus first, you may find yourself fiddling with the lens focus then realizing that it was the viewfinder focus that wasn't set and consequently loose the shot while you get both set properly. The 2X magnification can help in setting the focus but may leave you with a shot that isn't cropped corectly so I'd set the crop view at 1X then set the focus at 2X. Not the kind of device to be used for action shots and because it clips on in place of the rubber eyecup, it can be easily knocked off the camera.

Neidisch habe ich als D80 Besitzer auf die verstellbaren Liveview Monitore anderer Kameras geschielt; es hat schon was im Makrobereich, oder dicht am Boden, genauso bei Astrofotogrfie auf dem Stativ, nicht so wie ich am Boden liegend oder knieend ins Okular zu schielen und dann doch nicht immer 100%-ig den Fokus zu treffen. Aber nur wg. einem Schwenkmonitor die Kamera wechseln ? 1. ist mir meine D80 zu sehr ans Herz gewachsen als dass ich sie hergeben möchte und 2. soll die Qualität der LieveView Monitore nicht so berauschend sein (im Vergleich zum Blick durchs Okuklar).Der Ausweg: ein Winkelsucher !ich wollte schon 150,- € sparen und mir ein Lowcost Teil für um die 50,- € bestellen, wurde aber durch die entsprechenden negativen Rezessionen abgeschreckt und habe mich zum Orginal Nikon durchgerungen (... nach langen schlaflosen Nächten ;-). Lieferung erhalten und aufgesteckt - WOW, das war ein Erlebnis, das Sucherbild mit dem 18-70 war um gefühlte 30-40% heller/klarer ! Fokussieren mit der einschwenkbaren x2 Lupe (ist im Sucher integriert) ein Kinderspiel. Das Aufstecken am Sucher geht ohne hackeln von statten und die Haptik des Gehäuses ist auch ok (natürlich nicht aus einem Stück Metall gefräst, sondern Kunststoff, aber ordentlich verarbeitet); Man kann den Sucher alle 90° einrasten lassen, wobei die Positionen dazwischen auch möglich sind.Ich kann wirklich nur zum Nikon DR-6 raten; das ist Qualität die ich gesucht habe - die aber auch bezahlt werden will.

I take pictures of pets and wild cats in a park nearby my home. It is too bad that professional cameras still do not have the flip down screen. I would think that even professionals need to take pictures in ackward locations. right? Anyway, I bought the Right Angle Viewfinder to compensate for this lack in my D90. The Nikon DR-6 Right Angle Viewfinder works great. It is versatile and it does not easily fall out of place. It is not cheap because it has a clear and flawless glass in it. I strongly recommend this tool. It is fun to capture subjects form interesting angles.

This is a valuable tool, worthy of 5 stars with the usual caveats: slightly loose fit on the D200's eyepiece (a little black tape helps), the need to refocus at 2x and the current price (up $40-$50 from 2008).The DR-6 is very sharp & free from distortion -- sharp enough to show the tiny black feeds from the AF sensors seen even at 1x. It's great for landscapes, macros & manual focusing (all the better to make use of the deep pool of used MF Nikkors). Rotation is more useful than I thought at first. Another benefit I didn't expect is shooting into the sun. In that application it's far easier to get a good view and relax one's eye muscles with a right-angle finder than the camera's own eyepiece. Sometimes the DR-6 goes on my camera for one shot then stays on most of the day. The good-quality belt pouch included is another plus.

I made this purchase with the specific intent of using it for birding with my D80 and an ancient Soligor 600mm f/8. Optical and mechanical performance are definitively first rate; providing more convenient viewing angle AND the advantage of the 2x magnification toggle that makes critical focus significantly easier. My 23 inch, 5 pound manual Soligor made the DR-6 an attractive accessory, but I use this viewer frequently when I shoot. It's excellent.Coordination of the camera's diopter adjustment with the DR-6 customized adjustor (the eyepiece turns to perfect the sharpness of your view) requires some getting used to, and the top half swivels 90° left or right parallel to the sensor plane for portrait orientation, as/if you so desire.The only shortcoming of this device is in its documentation which is perfectly supplemented by direct experience and the kindness of strangers in the internet. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.
