WTB - Nikon CF Photo 10X or 8X eyepiece

Pau · Post by **Pau** » Mon Mar 04, 2019 4:09 am

I'm looking for a Nikon CF Photo 10X eyepiece (the one marked "Photo") intended for afocal in excellent optical condition, not a projective.
For trade or buy at reasonable price. I prefer the 10X although the 8X would also serve.
If you have it, please PM me.

Hmm? I thought the CF Photo 10x, 8x were projectives meant for 4x5 film.

Yikes! Thanks Pau, you've enlightened me!
I'm then curious, why didn't they just use their normal CFW 10x, 8x eyepieces? Perhaps the field flattening parameters were different?

Impossible to say without a careful comparison. The normal CF focusing eyepieces work well but they are too wide to fit inside my afocal adapter
