Pentax FD-1 Magnifying Eyepiece

Description:
Attaching to the FB-1 system viewfinder, this eyepiece provides a 45-degree viewing angle for close-up applications. This viewfinder combination has an aperture window, but no flash hotshoe.
  • Diopter correction: -4.5 to +3.5
  • Magnification: 0.95x
  • Eye-point: 15 mm
  • Weight: 145 g
  • Dimensions: ø49.5 x 41.5 mm

The first version of the pamphlet supplied with the LX viewfinders specified the diopter range as -5 to +3 (May 1980). We consider that a typo since the LX manual from October 1980 as well as later issues of the viewfinder pamphlet (such as issue 4 July 1981) specifies the range as -4.5 to +3.5.

Pros:
Cons:

Essential.
Provides lots of flexibility and for me personally a much more natural way of looking through the camera.
Permanently on its own FB-1.

Pros: Really good for macro. Does the job well
Cons: None

Seeing this item did not have a review, I thought It should have one.

Really useful finder for macro work. Does what it says on the tin, magnifies the image for critical focusing. Works well, high quality build. Allows me to work without the glasses, which is always a plus.
