I bought on ebay a $25 split image RF screen for my istDS when I bought the camera, works great. Chinese. No cutting required. This was 5 yrs ago though.

It is much better than the stock screens in my previous DSLRs I had almost convinced myself that I didn't need to buy a katzeye for it. Last night, I had the K-5 set up on a tripod using the intervalometer. At one point I grabbed the K-x with FA77 and started photographing the dancers. I had much better results using the K-x with the Katzeye screen than I did with the K-5 and stock screen. The only problem is, I don't really have the money for the katzeye screens. They are without a doubt worth the money, I just don't have it. What are the alternatives out there for split prism screens? I believe that there is a Canon focusing screen that is very popular for conversions, if you are willing to cut it down yourself. Anybody have experience, or recommendations? -- Larry Colen [email protected] (from dos4est) -- 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. -- 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.
