I'll tell you next week, I have one of the cheap dual split screens on route from China now. Pentax AF might be reliable as you say (not my experience) but I can assure you that trying to manually focus any fast glass (50/1.2, 85/1.4, 31/1.8, 77/1.8 etc) is a complete hit and miss affair using any Pentax DSLR fitted with a standard screen even with focus assist. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- 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.
