I own a Nikon F2 with a DE-1 Eye-Level (non metered) prism. Somehow, I managed to bump the thing at its apex. Must have been a pretty good bump because, while it put only a small ding in the top of the finder, it managed to put a small star-shaped fracture up at the top of the prism's glass. I noticed after the fact that the reason why this happened was because the prism appears to be loose inside the finder.

Anyway, I'd like to know what sort of interchangeability there is between F2 (and maybe even F?) finders. I'm thinking maybe I can pick up a thrashed DP-1 with busted meter and disect it, then transplant the prism into my only slightly bruised DE-1.

Ever done this before?

Please send me an e-mail Tuesday when I will be back on duty and I will see if I have a good prism for your F2. Art (www.flcamerarepair.com)
