[QUOTE="ejronin, post: 625786, member: 43743"] Well, doable as in "would presumably be something that after conducting, nominally functional?" I can't even find measurements on the mirror or prism in either camera to speculate (though I haven't looked very hard for a Nikon repair tech manual, to be honest). The reason for contemplating it is, if it can be done effectively and the end result is a benefit without compromise, then few reasons outside of potential failure exist to at least investigate the idea. I understand that 'if it was a great idea, Nikon would have built it that way' but I could point out if human flight was a great idea, we'd be birds. Why I'd want to swap them - I can see better with the prism over the mirror and because if a prism is technically better because of its inherent qualities then it makes sense to want to have something better. There are several things people do to their DSLR. I've seen split focus screens installed and different mount rings. I guess why not a mirror / prism swap?
