Just got my 850 so I'm totally jazzed!
The one thing it didn't come with is a viewfinder screen cover.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

None available other than the plastic ones made for cell phones, which you will NOT want to put over that beautiful touch screen! The D500 and D850 both come with a factory protective glass cover on them, it can be replaced economically should they get damaged.

Are you referring to the optical viewfinder? If so, there is a little switch that closes it.

Use a phone or tablet screen cover, trim to fit before installing.

As popheizz stated above, I bought some of the cell phone "peel and stick" sheets to use on my little Sony back up.

Try this from Amazon: (It's glass!)

That has to be the least expensive item you could buy, to put on a D850. Protection for a LCD screen, and top LCD. For only $8.99 from Amazon. And a precise fit as well.

Does anyone know of a static film type cover sheet that can easily be put on and taken off as needed? The type that "clings".

I use a vello glass protector on my D810 and it's fine. Supposedly, it preserves the touch screen function.

I also use a thin glass protector on my Samsung S8, and it too works like a charm

I have the optical glass on my Canons and the touch screen works just fine. Got mine from B&H for about $25... Vello brand IIRC. If you want to go low cost get iPad screen cover from Dollar Tree for a buck and cut your own to size. You can get 6 or so from a sheet..

Best,
Todd Ferguson

You spent, how much on the camera and you need someone to tell you what screen cover to buy?? Go to B & H punch in screen cover for D850. Pick one out.
