Well, I wouldn't do it for the following reasons:

1.) TTL metering will not work. The old F-1 used a physically different scheme than the new one.

2.) It might be difficult to set the modified screen at the correct height in the body so focus will likely be off a bit.

Otherwise it should work. The screens are very close to the same size. I've been adapting various lenses to various cameras because I couldn't find what I wanted. With a bit of care just about antthing can be done.

Cheers,

Duane
