Split Image Focusing Screen for K10D
the term Rangefinder camera is usually used to mean something like the Leica M series. They have a separate viewfinder like a compact (in fact compacts are descended from rangefinders). This viewfinder is equipped with an optical rangefinder, usually a dual prism type where you get two superimpo...

Split Image Focusing Screen for K10D
the focus screen we've been discussing here is a split prism type as used to be fitted as standard to manual focus SLRs. Exactly how they work is something I've never investigated but what you get is a small circle in the middle of the screen which is split in half. Out of focus objects appear...

Split Image Focusing Screen for K10D
I think it must depend very much on our individual eyesight. I have always focused using the general ground glass of the screen and so modern screens actually suit me very well for manual focusing. It must be because I am very short-sighted and don't have any difficulty with fine detail of nearby...

Split Image Focusing Screen for K10D
Finally got one and fitted it on my istD. Early tests are great - if nothing else it proves the auto focus is spot on :lol: but seriously it makes manual focus a doddle Best £18 spent so far :) Now I must try and get another and put it aside for when I graduate to the K10 later in the y...

Split Image Focusing Screen for K10D
I've just come across this thread and have been itching to get my hands on something like this for my *ist DL for a long time. It seems however the seller in question is no longer registered on eBay (as of today at least, 7th May 2007). Thankfully though a search for 'pentax focus screen' prod...

Got lenses,but dilema with K10d purchase.Advise/opinions?
Hi all, first post here. First of many I hope. Story so far. Having used a Pentax P30T since 1987 & a Fugi 2800 zoom P&S for the last 4 years, I have decided to go for my first Dslr, namely K10d. Considered the K1000d but feel that I will grow out of this model quite early. Having just pu...

Got lenses,but dilema with K10d purchase.Advise/opinions?
Basically I would snap it up....What do you have to loose, at least you know it works and as soon as you buy a new one you can't sell it as new anyhow. I bought a K10D with 18-55 from U.S. and with sales tax and all that it cost me £ 570, and the concern that if something goes wrong I need to ship b...

Resize an image without loss of quality
Hint: with CS/CS2, after resizing with Bicubic Smoother, use "Smart Sharpen" and you'll get the clarity back ;) It'll take a little bit of experimenting, and I'd suggest duplicating the background and sharpening the duplicate layer so you can compare the difference. (But it'll need a hea...

Info needed about a particular lens
Pete, any of the SMC Pentax-K/M/A/F/FA/DFA 50mm (1:1.7, 1:1.4, 1:1.2) ought to be as good if not a lot better than the Porst 55mm 1:1.2 although I have no personal experience of the latter. There is also a SMC Pentax 55mm 1:1.8 but they seem to be pretty rare nowadays. I sold mine a while back...
