Yes it would.  Here's the information page on the standard focusing 
screen for the K7 which is pretty much the same as the one on the K5

That's kind of what I was thinking. If you sent the camera off to have 
the Katzeye screen installed, the installer may have shrink wrapped the 
original to protect it before returning it with the camera.

Judging from the options displayed on this page, it’s what this company calls 
an “S-TYPE Focusing Screen (AF Frame).” 
https://www.focusingscreen.com/index.php?cPath=25_113=3e1cbf8b325d66a47f8b788a76debbb2

The label on the Katzeye case says “Pentax AF Area Brackets: No.” So it would 
appear that this an optional screen with AF area brackets that came with the 
camera. Is that right?

Mystery focusing screen

2018-02-17 Thread Eric Weir 

As mentioned recently, I’m in the process of selling my K-5. In gathering 
things to be included in the package when there’s a buyer, I found the case 
from the Katzeye split image focusing screen that I had installed in the 
camera. Inside was another focusing screen, a bracketed one, in a sealed 
plastic sleeve. I don’t know where this came from. Only two possibilities: it 
was included with the Katzeye screen—unlikely I’m thinking—or it came with the 
camera.

Anyone know which it would be? 

Thanks,
