Sometimes the threaded ring is missing in a Nikon F or Nikon F2 viewfinder eyepiece. This wouldn't be a problem if you didn't need corrective lenses to see the screen clearly.
I made a replacement threaded ring out of brass and glued it in. Works wonderfully, the correction lens can be screwed back in.
For anyone who wants to recreate it:
The ring is 3 mm long.
The thread is a metric M19 x 0.75, core drill = 18,2 mm
and the outer diameter is 20.6mm; depending on how brutally the old insert was ripped out.
Measure beforehand!!
Have fun replicating it: Dieter
