That's precisely why I was asking about a comparison. Manually focusing a lens on the K100D in any but the best light is a study in frustration. Otherwise, it's a nice little rig. As I ponder the possibility of adding a DSLR to my own kit I'm trying to take into account my assortment of M and M42 lenses. Should the D or K10 prove to have a significantly better viewfinder, that's probably the way I'll go.
