Nikon DE-1 viewfinder info?

[BradS]

Does any exposure info (f-stop & shutter speed) show in the Nikon DE-1 view finder?

Nope, no exposure info. Just a clean, uncluttered image. The F2 (and F)models with the plain prism are a joy to shoot with.
There is a flash ready LED in the eyepiece, if you have a flash connected, but that's it.

The Lamp works when using an SB-2 or SB-7e- there may be others? The Lamp is not an LED, but the "Little Neon Lamp" like that of older Flashes used to tell the capacitor is charged. This is a very direct connect to the flash, no logic to convert the voltage on the capacitor to an LED.
I've got an SB-7e somewhere...

It was disappointing that Nikon didn't provide a clean viewfinder for the F3.

I do like the clean viewfinders on these manual cameras. I believe the Pentax LX was the last . . .

You could always tape over the LCD on the body of the F3.

Talking about the housing and not the view the finder.
