EXIF reader for NEF?
 

I have EXIF Viewer for Mac to read EXIF from JPEGs. Is there an
inexpensive/free utility out there that reads EXIF from NEF files?

droplet; drag 'n' drop.

one was already mentioned and there are a few others listed on the
exiftool page in the related utilities section. i haven't tried any of
them so i don't know how good or bad they may be.

The exiftool page has links to lots of related utilities. I downloaded
the three droplets by Rob Lewis. I don't see a full GUI for Mac.
