Summary: Nikon 90 degree viewfinder
Comment: This works better than I had even anticipated and makes
table top shots so much easier than having to get down on my knees !
I'm just sorry that I didn't get it sooner.

Summary: I like it
Comment: This has been a useful tool for my photography. I bought it when I purchased the 60mm micro lens but I've found myself using it with my 18-200mm as well.

Like another user, the only real fault I can find is that it could be made a bit sturdier (or priced cheaper), and the refocusing between 1x and 2x is a slight annoyance especially if your subject isn't cooperating by sitting still. Minor issue though.

Summary: For aging eyes, knees and backs a great product
Comment: Can't bend, kneel or twist like I used to and this gadget makes it all very easy! Clear, sharp and easy to use. Would be 5 stars if it had a locking mechanism. Too easy to knock off camera!! Much better than the Hoodman equivalent and worth the extra money!

Summary: Nikon right angle viewfinder DR-6
Comment: It is a bit pricey, however I have found over the years that sometimes paying a few buck more for something is well worth the agrivation. I remember spending hours trying to get a similar low cost unit to fit my Nikon F-2 for the same purpose, and it never did work very well.

My use for this little gem is for work with 'astrophotography' and I have to reley on repeatability and very low light situations to focus. Although I have not tested it against other similar, less expensive units like the Seagull or Photodiox Pro-1, I can say the Nikon DR-6 seems to give me eactly what I wanted. It fits very well on my D300 and the 2x feature is a very big plus.

Summary: DR6 Right AngleViewer
Comment: This is a nice item to add to anyone's arsenal.The ability to shoot low, without becoming a contortionist, was a welcome relief. I bought it for the D200 but found that it also fit the D300 and D40.

It does feel a bit flimsy but it has worked as advertised.
