Eye Cups

All the Z System cameras feature replaceable eye cups. Here’s the 411 on what’s available:

Z5, Z5II, Z6, Z6II, Z6III, Z7, Z7II Viewfinder Eye Cup

  • Nikon original is DK-29 
  • Kiwifotos DK-29 Long Soft replacement extends out further than Nikon's, and uses a soft silicone. 
  • Hoodman HEYENZ HoodEye replacement is an oversize cup.
  • Amazon has a wide selection of replacements
  • Zemlin Photo makes replacement eyecups with circular cups

Note that any Eye Cup you use needs to have the notch at the top for the eye detection mechanism to work. There are many older Eye Cups that will fit on the Nikon slip-on edges that do not feature that notch.

Z50 Viewfinder Eye Cup

  • Nikon original is DK-30 
  • DK-30 Long Soft replacement extends out further than Nikon's, and uses a soft silicone. 

Note that any Eye Cup you use needs to have the notch at the bottom for the eye detection mechanism to work. There are many older Eye Cups that will fit on the Nikon slip-on edges that do not feature that notch.

Z50II Viewfinder Eye Cup

The Z50 II does not have a directly removable eye cup. The protective cup is screwed into the body so that it does not accidentally release. It's possible that we'll get third-party replacements, but none existed when this page was updated.

Zfc Viewfinder Eye Cup

  • Nikon original is DK-32 
  • The Z50 options also fit on the Zfc

Zf, Z8, and Z9 Viewfinder Eye Cup
