Type-B Focusing Screen for Nikon D2X at DVinfo.net

I J Walton · August 15th, 2007, 08:03 AM

Hello. I've only just noticed these screens for the Nikon D2X DSLR. I was looking for a good screen for my static adaptor prototype. Has anyone used one of these? And are they really completeley plain like the picture shows?

Yes, this is probably a good option for a basic starter static setup. It may be too small by a bit since I think it is for a DSLR which has a slightly smaller projection image plane.

I thought they stopped making them though, along with the D screen which was a great clear matte with good light transmission.

The Nikon D2X has an aps-c sized sensor, so the focusing screen is a lot smaller. Canon 5D and the 1Ds-line of cameras are the only fullframe digital slrs.
