Hi! Thanks for the advise. From what you say it follows that MX is indeed the right choice of a camera. As for the focusing screen, I will deal with that too. At least MX unlike ME Super allows to change focusing screens.
What is average CLA price for MX? --- Boris Liberman www.geocities.com/dunno57 www.photosig.com/viewuser.php?id=38625 ===8<==============Original message text=============== There are 2 issues here - viewfinder brightness & screen brightness. The MX screen is good in its own era, and still bright if you use fast primes (like I do). However, f4 or slower lenses will start to make manual focus difficult without split image. On the other hand, the viewfinder magnification of ME Super and MX are the highest. If you want the brightest and easiest manual focus viewfinder, install the F?-6? screens which were released along with LX2000, in MX and you have the highest magnification and brightest viewfinder of any Pentax 135 cameras. However, be prepared a CLA for any used MX you newly purchased. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 3 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus&xAPID=42&PS=47575&PI=7324&DI=7474&SU= http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg&HL=1216hotmailtaglines_eliminateviruses_3mf ===8<===========End of original message text===========
