Can't See Entire F2 Screen

[George Mann]

I just got my Nikon F2 (DP-1) today, and noticed that I can't see the whole screen at once, making the general view of it much less than 100%.

This is the first time I have seen this.

Has your eye sight changed or are you now wearing glasses?

Which eye piece does the camera have.

I didn't have a diopter in it when I first checked it, but it didn't really make a difference as I still have to push my whole face in to it to see the whole screen.

On a side note, the stock focus screen (which constantly gets dirty) is next to useless with slower lenses (28 3.5), as the split rangefinder blacks out.

I wear glasses and the F2 is one camera I can see the whole screen with no issues. My Rolleiflex is another one -

Which finder?

I checked my F2A's and I can see ALMOST the whole screen. It's almost like moderate vignetting in the corners LOL.

Yes. And when I achieve the right position to see both edges, the top is cut off!

DP-1

Don't take this personally George, but your thread title absolutely demands this response:
"Perhaps you have tunnel vision?"
I will now retire, feeling guilty.

Try the type J or K screen.

It has the type K already. I have the type J in my F90x with no issues.
