Hello all! (De-lurking for a quick technical question.) I just got a Pentax K-3, and while toying with it and photographing a landscape, I noticed something "weird" in the viewfinder, namely if I point the camera at the sky (or a bright source light), I see in the viewfinder a faint fingerprint-like pattern, especially on the edges of the frame.
In fact I've noticed this only after I've noticed a small dark spot in the upper left side of the frame, which I assume is some dirt on the focusing screen (as it doesn't appear in the actual photos). (I'll closely inspect the mirror today.) The dirt and the fact that my Pentax K-30 doesn't have this fingerprint-like pattern, made me wonder if by any chance there is something wrong with my K-3's focusing screen. (Although I found some "chatter" on the internet which might suggest that this pattern is indeed to be expected.) Anyone noticed something similar on their K-3?
