Will the mamiya ze/zm take nikon rectangular diopter lenses?

I have no idea, but a few brands are interchangeable (not that they tell you that), and others can be modified -- if you have the tools and skills.

Thanks! Do you know of any that are interchangeable?

I've never seen a list. I think some Canon fit on some Minolta, but not sure which models.

One approach would be to find any one for your camera, then find the diopter you want from any other brand -- break it out of the frame and replace it in the Mamiya frame you have. Some cutting/sizing would probably be needed.

The Mamiya Z series eyepiece is close enough in size to the Nikon rectangular eyepiece (used on the FG and EM) so that the diopter adapter will fit, may be a tiny bit tight. Mamiya actually used a system of round diopter lenses for the Z series and they fit into a rubber eyecup adapter on the eyepiece.

Thanks for the info, that helps tons!
