The first time you do it, it can take a bit of work, but it's quite easy. The tricky bit is with the shim behind the screen, getting it to stay in place, or go back in place. The screens come with a tweezer for holding the screen, but I'd recommend getting another tweezer for replacing the shim when it falls out. Also, invest in powder free gloves before you start. Likewise, before you start, do some focus tests with the stock screen, and make sure things are right. My K20 came with a second shim wedged in behind, I just never noticed that manual focus was off until I bought the katzeye. By the way, the service at Katzeye is stellar. I won't bore the list with my stories again, but when I had problems with the extra shim, Rachel Katz's help was amazing. As in I got a phone call back minutes after I sent a note commenting on my focus being off. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
