I was expecting the f8 mirrors to make manual focus -- and since they're not AF lenses that's the only kind of focus there is -- really hard. I've been pleasantly surprised that it's not, at any light level above twilight. So I suspect that while small viewfinders don't help the absolute size of the objective might have more to do with it than the f-stop. > I'll take a good quality full matte screen to, but if I can't have > that, then a split image is my next best option. Well, here's hoping there are some good, Pentax-produced (and thus certified to not mess with the auto-focus) options available for the new thing. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
