Was looking to change the eyepiece on the K10D for a better close up option when doing macro work and had settled on the O-ME53 magnifying cup.
Just before I bought it I read on another forum that the Nikon DK-21M unit actually fits the K10D so as it was half the price I decided to take the risk.
It turned up today and I have to say it fits perfectly and seems much clearer than the standard one on the Pentax.
If you have another digital camera, could you post an image of it attached to your K10D :

That's interesting. I use the O-ME53 and find it works very well for both macro and telephoto work.

I use O-ME53 with no problems, as a glasses wearer I do have to move the eye about a bit more to see the view finder display info (f stop, shutter speed etc).
However a very big plus point is, that it projects back further than standard eyepeice and hence keeps the lcd panel nose print free.

I think the magnification goes up from 0.95 to 1.2 :
Whats the magnification of the Nikon :
BTW be careful with the O-ME53, as i have already lost one because it protrudes further from the camera, when i had it slung over my shoulder the eye piece was rubbing against my side and worked its way off.
Its now lying on the beach somewhere

Couple of photos.
Amazing how much the dust shows when you get close up ... I really must have a go at that macro stuff.
It doesn't look as bulky as the Pentax one. Couple of photos.

Can you see all the metering info inside the view finder ok :
BTW you need to get that dandruff looked at

You have to look down slightly to see all the metering info, I suppose I shouldn't really say this but I rarely look at it anyway It doesn't look as bulky as the Pentax one.

I must say though, doesn't the K10D look damn sexy from the rear.
Better not let the wife see me saying that though, she may begin to wonder about me.

Many thanks for the photographs, although I do not spend a lot of time fantasising about the rear of my K10D

I don't know how Clarky manages to find the time to photograph insects, in between sleeping with 'roos, working in his goldmine and hopping over to Spain
