That's good, important info, William. Is your AF in tune with the
manual focusing? I imagine that having a camera with AF adjust for
individual lenses plus shims for the focusing screen means that as
long as the mirror is close to proper alignment one can obtain a
correctly adjusted camera at home without needing to send it out for
repair if the mirror isn't spot on.
I understand this doesn't matter to some folks who prefer not to touch
the inside of a camera, but to DIY types like myself it's great.
What Katzeye screen do you have? Given your 50mm f/1.2 I assume you
bought it for manual focusing. When the K-8 (or whatever it's called)
is announced I'll decide whether to buy it or pick up a cheap (at that
point) K-7. Either way I'll be buying a Katzeye screen from the onset;
I have too much nice manual-focus glass that doesn't get enough use on
my K10D due to viewfinder woes.
