I modified an MX split screen/micro prism to fit the DS. Auto focus seemed to work flawlessly at all apertures. However, metering (with M lenses) was not dependable after f2.8 - the split screen gets progressively darker with each f-stop and goes totally black at about f4. Metering in auto-program modes seemed to work fine. Supposedly prism only screens meter fine at all apertures.
In the end, the stock DS screen is noticeably brighter and is what I currently use. -Patrick On 12/24/05, Don Sanderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Meter's behind the mirror, it's AF that I wonder about. > > Don > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Saturday, December 24, 2005 8:36 PM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: An odd find. > > > > > In a message dated 12/24/2005 6:34:03 PM Pacific Standard Time, > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > Some things are just too wierd/cool to resist! > > > > http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7573618765 > > > > Don > > ======= > > The metering still works right?
