Can the lens covers be turned or do they only go on it one direction?

They can be turned, and a new hole drilled for a screw to keep them in position, but from the factory, they only go one way.

One direction. It has a set screw on one side that screws into the body, so unless you know how to drill and tap a 6-32 hole, it stays one way.

You can flip it around yes, and I do believe you can take it apart and change the side the gear is on. Its fairly well built for the price, The lens gear bands work ok but not my favorite, you can however buy other brands.

Yes, they can. They acre threaded on both sides. You can get up to 17+ diopters. Make sure that if you stack them that you place the strongest closest to the camera lens.

You can pull the eyecup off the mount that slides onto the camera and reverse it. I use my left eye also.Good Luck

I'm prett sure it is reversible although I haven't tried to reverse it. I have used it with Nikon lenses without reversing it and was happy with it. For the money, it's a good product.

Mine came with rubber caps...not flip up lens covers. You may purchase those separate, but the rubber caps are linked and stretch over the ends--very serviceable.

Remove the existing ring around the lens ( mine is black and easily turns counter clockwise) The adapter then goes in it's place.

Flip the mount upside down so that the flat face is facing down. There is a small metal lever attached to the mount that you push to release the lens. While pushing this metal piece, turn the lens off of the mount.

Yup twist clockwise. Note it may be easier to mount the adapter onto the camera first then mount the lens onto the adapter, also you may be able to use the lens in M or manual mode only, so don't forget to switch the camera to M mode first before turning the camera on with the lens already attached. Finally check that you have the latest firmware update available for you camera installed, it can improve the quality of your pictures.

There are 2 silver hex bolts sticking out of the back. One adjusts horizontal, the other adjusts vertical. Gently twist them. I overtightened one and snapped it resulting in ordering a new set of lenses.

The thing to keep in mind about these is that they are compact. So the eye pieces are set wider than the view lenses. Turn them around.

The rear lens covers come off. They do not stay on. I don't understand why a company with the reputation of Nikon can't fix this seemingly small issue.

Thanks for all the responses. For what it's worth, I'm experimenting placing the camera sideways in the case with the camera handle facing up. I'm using one of the velcro straps, parallel to, and raised a bit from, the bottom to keep the lens from resting on the bottom from the case.

No, it's just the way light travels through the lens. If it doesn't have a mirror to reflect off of, on to the view port it will always be reversed.

Where the lens attaches to the tripod there is a collar that holds the lens body. There is a knob on the collar which allows you to loosen the grip of the collar in order to rotate the lens when changing between shooting a horizontal or vertical. So all you have to do is loosen the knob and rotate the lens until it is where you want.

The one I received has front and back slip on lens covers with an elastic between the two. Not as handy as flip up ones.

Hi, the knob on the side is a lock pin that you use to release the lens from the adapter (just added safety). When you want to remove the lens hold the lens and adapter vertical and push the knob straight down. Easy as that. Does that help?
