Hi,
to start a Pentax issue, I would like to ask those members
with focusing screens (removable <g>), if they could measure such.
I got the idea from a PDMLer here who ordered MZ-M split-image-aid
screen and put it into his MZ-5n (BTW, is your spot-metering
working with the splitscreen? I assume it should work well, in many
cameras the spot reading is done through the mirror, so _before_
any focusing screen. Strange that it affected Z1's spot).
I have SFXn (SF1n) which has removable screen, and would much like
to put there a screen with split-image aid. The SFXn's bright-matte
screen is great for focusing on near objects like 1-5m, but awful
at focusing near infinity (even with 2.8 lenses). Best would be a
modern bright-matte screen with split-image center aid. I wonder if
maybe the other screens would fit, maybe the MZ-M's ?
My screen has the following dimensions - 3.49mm x 2.44mm (aprox.).
Could you please measure your MZ-M screen you ordered (or the
MZ-5n's screen you put out, they should be same dimens.) ? And
those with the LX screens, could somebody give me the measures?
Thanks a lot.
The modern brightscreen with center focusing aid would be
just _great_. I need split-image for landscapes and
near-infinity focus (with tele lenses, 500mm, I have'nt yet
seen a landscape that would allow me to hyperfocus. There's
no such thing as hyperfocus in 5.6/500mm mirror tele).

P.S. as again, please CC your message directly to me. I am very fond
of PDML and always can't wait the 2 days which is currently the "lag"
of the WWW version behind the direct mail one. But unfortunately I
can't get the mail one, it would ruin my private life ;)
