Not directly - they are different. K1000 uses one single resin screen with combined groundglass and fresnel, while Spotmatic (at least SP1000) has separate fresnel lens and groundglass (actually, the groundglass is etched into a resin field lens). However, I have managed to fit a new K1000 screen into the SP1000, with marked improvement in viewfinder brightness and clarity. It's been a while though, I don't remember if I had to do much hacking. I think not much was needed. Frantisek
