Pentax K10D focus screen
years ago I removed the focussing screen from a SLR to clean it. It only made it worse and after "cleaning" it seemed to attracht a lot more dust. If there is a spec of dust on it, just leave it there.

As it has no effect on the image, cleaning a focusing screen is best avoided. The screens are very soft and fragile and can be easily damaged.

Pentax K10D focus screen
I had another bad experience with removing a focussing screen, I removed one to clean it (it was a split/microprism screen) and I put it in upsidedown... This caused all of my pictures to be out of focus... It was this old beast, my first SLR... I still have it but it doesn't work anymore...

Pentax K10D focus screen
Just searching the forum for info on cleaning behind focus screens. I've been getting a build up of dust and small hair like crap behind my K20D focus screen. I've tried to ignore it until now as it doesn't affect the image but now there's a hair like creature sitting right in the centre and is affe...

JI've tried to ignore it until now as it doesn't affect the image but now there's a hair like creature sitting right in the centre and is affecting the AF ( as well as being highly annoying ). An hair on the focusing screen will never be able to affected auto focus, by the simple fact that the AF do...

hmmm? interesting. Thanks for the diagram :) maybe there's some crap over the AF unit at the bottom then. Coincidentally the AF ( on all lenses started randomly not working well when the crap on the focus screen appeared. Coincidence I guess. Focus screen looks like a farmyard anyway, so I thin...

Pentax K10D focus screen
Cleaned mine the other day. Just whipped it out and dusted it down with a jet of air from the blower. Wished I had done it ages ago instead of trying to ignore all the bits that were there. Getting it out is quite straightforward but you will need some tweazers, I have a sprung pair that grip whe...

OP, Judging by your user-name and picture, you're presumably the captain of the Sloop John B, the one who wasn't around when the crew had the famous fight off Nassau Town, and felt so broke up that they just wanted to go home? Hope your focussing screen is still usable. Cheers G

When you get to my age, Doug, 8 months seems but an instant. Pictures? Nah! I just like to polish the big brass lens on my Gandolfi and reminisce about the time Foxy and I used to experiment with various interesting chemicals in his darkroom down Laycock way. Pictures are for cissies. G

What is the range people are getting fron their remote? I just tried mine with the K10D. It was reliable up to about 40 feet from the back of the camera, and up to about 30 feet from the front. I'm not sure if the difference is significant, since I just put the camera on the floor so the sen...
