Nikon Finder magnification

[sanmich]

Hi all

Could someone complete the following for the Nikkormats:
F/F2/F3/FA are ~0.8x
F3hp is 0.75x
FM/FM2/FE/FE2/FM3a are 0.85x

I'm sure the Nikkormats are not HP, but are they similar to the F/F2 (quite ok for a glass wearer like me) or to the FM/FE models (I'm chasing the corners)

Thanks

It seems hard to find this information by searching the web. I had a Nikkormat FTn and when I upgraded to an F3 (not the HP version) I was disappointed that the viewfinder magnification was less. I didn't wear glasses, so I can't comment, sorry. It needed a 1.3v mercury battery.

Michael,
The Nikkormat FT3 Camera Manual does not give any figures for viewfinder magnification or coverage.
Mir.com however gives this as 0~9X and 92% coverage.
The Nikon repair manual does not give the magnification but confirms the coverage as approx 92%.
Hope this helps.

Regards
Harry
