think that this is for the s , it is either a diopter adjustment or an rf magnifier i can not remember which . it would work with the nikon 1 , m or s .
at any rate it is a fairly rare item and worth quite a bit .
i will look it up and try to post again .

Wow, where do you go to your garage sales...
Yes indeed, that looks like it would fit on the older M/1/S viewfinder quite nicely. If I remember correctly the S2's finder is farther from the hot shoe (and a different size, that looks like it's for a smaller eyepiece)

it is in rotoloni s book complete nikon rangefinder system .
it is both a rangefinder magnifier and a diopter adjustment .
it magnifys the rf spot and finder from the 75% of the standard nikon s to life size . the back part turns to provide diopter range for different eyesight corrections .
it is fairly rare and not many are seen .
my guess is that the 85 / 1.5 was used on a nikon s and the magnified rf spot allowed more accurate focus , and perhaps provided an approximate field of view for the 85 lens .
pm me with your email address and i will try to send a copy of the specs in roberts book .
the only decent garage sale find i had were a 5cm f2 shade and a 5cm 1.4 shade . the f2 shade was in the box . thats in 35 years of looking .

enasniearth, I appreciate your research. I have Rotoloni's book in storage somewhere but thanks. And darn, I guess I will have to find an S body to use the finder with.
You can imagine my excitement when I saw that Nikon brown leather case at the bottom of a box of miscellaneous junk. My collection was lacking an 85mm lens.
