Hi Bill, Easiest way is probably to go to a well-stocked camera store and try a few different diopter values. That's how I selected the best value for me. The Nikon ones seem to be pretty well-stocked, at least in the better stores I've been in. If you're near-sighted (like me), try out a few negative diopters. Hold one in your hand, then look through it at some small print at a distance. If you're far-sighted, try out a few positive diopters. Seems to me that I read somewhere that the round Nikon diopters, when removed from their mounts, fit into the Pentax 6x7 viewfinder/diopter lens mount on the prism finder body. Hope this helps.
