LOL! I wish I could compare myself to Capa. :) If I could separate the focusing screen from the camera I would, but I haven't been able to find the original screen. That, or I didn't figure out how to reinstall it. Screens from the K5 and K10D seem just a bit smaller, and yet I somehow cannot close the little tray with one of those in. So it's the only screen I have for this camera.
Price went down today btw, although ebay seems saturated with KPs from Japan at marginally lower prices right now. j -- Juan Buhler - http://www.jbuhler.com On Sun, Jan 19, 2020 at 12:53 PM P. J.
