D60 D5100 DK-20 Eyepiece Eyecup Viewfinder for Nikon D5600 D5200 review (3-Pack)
Quick take
This DK-20 eyecup replacement (3-pack) is designed for select Nikon DSLR models to make viewfinder use more comfortable, especially for eyeglass wearers, while also helping block stray light that can cause flare. It’s a practical, low-cost upgrade or spare, but fit is model-specific, and a few buyers report the eyecups can be harder to keep attached on some cameras.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Soft silicone design is aimed at more comfortable eye-to-viewfinder positioning.
- Helps shield light entering the viewfinder to reduce flare.
- Provides cushioning and extra protection around the eyepiece area (helpful when carrying the camera).
- Ships as a 3-pack for replacements and spares.
Cons
- Compatibility is specific, not every Nikon DSLR in the same family is supported.
- Some users say the eyecups did not stay on tightly on certain bodies during transport.
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is mixed but informative. Many reports emphasize a secure, “snap-in” style fit on supported Nikon models, with improved retention compared to original cups that slipped during carrying. There are also comments that the soft eyecup material helps maintain comfort and can work well even with eyeglasses. That said, at least some buyers report the eyecups not staying attached on certain cameras, suggesting you should double-check exact model compatibility before relying on them as a permanent fix.
What this eyecup accessory does (and why it matters)
If you shoot with a Nikon DSLR’s optical viewfinder, the eyecup is the small interface between your face and the camera. This DK-20 style eyecup is intended to:
- Improve comfort with a soft, durable silicone-style cup around the eyepiece.
- Reduce stray light that can enter around the eye and contribute to flare and washed-out contrast in the viewfinder.
- Protect the eyepiece area with a cushioning effect, which can also help during day-to-day handling.
Comfort and flare reduction for viewfinder shooters
The biggest everyday benefit is the “seal” effect. By shielding unwanted light around the eyepiece, the eyecup can make the viewfinder image feel more consistent, especially in bright conditions. The soft cup design is also aimed at eyeglass wearers, where a hard plastic edge can be uncomfortable over long sessions.
Fit and compatibility: the main thing to verify
This product is described as compatible with multiple Nikon DSLR models, including D70, D70S, D60, D50, D40, D750, D5600, D5200, D5100, D5000, and D3100. It’s also explicitly stated as not fitting certain close variants (for example, D5500, D5300, and D3300 are called out as not supported).
Buying tip: If you own a model close to the list, confirm the DK-20 eyecup fit for your exact camera before ordering, since a “near match” can still be the difference between a secure fit and an eyecup that works loose during transport.
Pros and cons in real use
Pros
- Comfort-focused material: the soft silicone-style cup is made to feel easier against your face, including for eyeglass users.
- Better blocking of stray light: it’s designed to help prevent flare from light entering through the viewfinder area.
- Added cushioning: the eyecup acts like a protective cushion around the eyepiece.
- 3-pack value: having spares can be helpful if you replace one on a camera bag or need a backup.
Cons
- Not universal across Nikon DSLRs: the fit depends on the specific eyecup standard for your camera model.
- Retention can vary by body: some buyers report the eyecup not staying attached tightly on particular cameras, so it may not be ideal if you need high confidence it will never come loose.
Who should buy this eyecup
This is best for photographers who:
- Want a comfortable replacement for a worn or hard viewfinder eyecup.
- Shoot optical viewfinders and want less flare from stray light.
- Have a Nikon DSLR that matches the supported list and want a budget spare (3-pack).
Who should avoid it
You may want to skip this specific DK-20 eyecup if:
- Your Nikon model is one of the variants listed as not compatible.
- You’re very sensitive to parts that might loosen during transport, and you need a guaranteed retention fit for your exact camera body.
Is it worth the money?
At a low accessory price point, the DK-20 eyecup is attractive if you need a simple comfort and flare-management improvement for a compatible Nikon DSLR. The key reason it may disappoint is not the cushioning or light-shielding concept, it’s the fit. If you have a supported camera model and you’re okay with a plug-in accessory that may still vary slightly by body, it can be a practical buy.
