OK, not long got back. Firstly Thomas an image of the front and the underside of the focusing screen of the D5. Not particularly good, the table where the cameras and lensed were was directly into the bright sun. 50mm 1.4 wasn't ideal for closeups, but enough of the excuses, here we go.

Crop of the lens mount and mirror box:
Hope they give you the view you wanted. The clip central to the front of the focus screen looks as though it *might* release the screen but it may not.
Not sure what to say really...

Despite leaving home just after six, I arrived just too late for the coffee. The presentation had started. I restricted myself to sampling the lenses, of which were was a dazzling array from 10.5 Fish to 800mm tele, from 200 f2 to a couple of PC lenses, with almost everything in between. I was pretty much overwhelmed by it all. The technicians were busy cleaning sensors and lenses, doing a painstaking job. My D200 and D300s are beautifully clean now.
I particularly handled the D5 and was very impressed with the viewfinder, so big, bright and clear, the data at the bottom is much better in bright white figures, hopefully they dim in poor light, everything felt 'just right'. The D500 was very nice, as far as I was concerned far better without the add on battery compartment, once I had taken that off it felt much better, yet the D5 felt even better in my hands, hard to explain.
I also handled the D610 which was also on display alongside the D7200 and numerous D4 and D4s's
This was a little fun on my part, a family snap, D5, my D200 and the D500 sans battery pack.
