Repost from other RF thread

Apologies for posting in the other RF thread; better to duplicate here I thought.

I posted:

Hello all,

My second post, apparently. I just acquired a pristine RF645, but need to change the diopter (it is fitted with the standard -1) for -2, or stronger. I read somewhere that a particular series Nikon has a similar diopter shape---can anyone point me to that? I have googled everywhere, to no avail.

I have to say that winding in a roll of Velvia 100 was way more exciting that putting a CF card in... Really took me back (I used to shoot Pentax 6x7s in the old days, alongside a pair of Photomic head Nikons).

cheers to all, and TIA.

Can anyone here help?

Still looking for a dioptre... I really want to shoot this camera, but cannot see well enough to focus...

Is this helpful? http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/search/Br...tion_Lens_For_Bronica_RF_(+2_Dioptre)?loose=t

You could check KEH. They had a few Bronica RF diopters a few weeks ago.

This one (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/phot...y.php?cat=7602) *looked* good—until the search engine for London Camera Exchange couldn't locate any Bronica products... and the actual shop couldn't either. Good leads, though, and I will keep checking.

I had checked KEH, but no joy to date.

In the meantime, I bought a Nikon rectangular +2; I will see if the local optometrist can modify this to suit the RF. Cheers, and thanks.

Yay! Just found one, the one I want, on KEH. Just negotiating postage costs. Thanks to all, KL
