Thoughts on cheap Ebay split image screen for K-m
Just thought I'd post my thoughts on my recently received split image screen for my K-m. I had fancied a split image screen for my K-m for a while, as I'm using manual focus lenses 90% of the time at the moment, but the cost had put me off. Decent screens from the more reputable suppliers (Katz E...

Thoughts on cheap Ebay split image screen for K-m
No effect on AF functionality, as the AF module in the cameras is separate to the whole viewfinder mechanism (someone posted a good diagram on a thread once, Stefan I think, which illustrated perfectly, but I can't find it). Focussing accuracy appears to be good. I tested it with AF lenses and at...

Thoughts on cheap Ebay split image screen for K-m
Just to double check before I buy, is the right part? It seems a bit odd that they claim it fits every Pentax DSLR - I realise that the viewfinders should all be the same size (as they're all APS-C) but I'm also aware that there have been differences in focussing screens before now - the ones i...

Thoughts on cheap Ebay split image screen for K-m
Well, I've ordered one - added a note to say "please send one for a Km" just in case. Will see how I get on with it. A split screen is a lot easier to use than looking for the little green hexagon in the bottom of the viewfinder! Don't you have the bleep switched on? Does K-m even have the bleep? ...

in all fairness, f/8 before blackout is pretty darned good for an old/cheap screen, ME-F doesn't do any better than that. Can't you focus wide open and just stop down to shoot?

My Bert Stern Experience
I have so many stories about my life from the Fashion Battle Field, I don't know which one to share first. Should I do my Kim Alexis story, Bert Stern story, Andie MacDowell story or the Janice Dickenson story? Ok here goes "She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me.." Well the flower p...

Moving abroad tomorrow
Good luck in the sandpit AG I did three years in Saudi back in the nineties at the recommendation of my bank manager. Some of your worst moments on a flightdeck may be my handiwork - see if you can guess what I do :mrgreen: My survival tip - stick with the Aussies and the Irish. Much more fun ...

Moving abroad tomorrow
:DBest wishes from Wirral Jon - getting back into the work ethic is a great feeling - I should know after 40 odd years in the uncertainty of catering and hotelkeeping. Hope all goes well and look forward to some exciting home thoughts from abroad on screen. Tony ( & Jo )

careful Mike - you may yet get infected :D I need a few days with a K-7 to get me back in line ... :lol: In an ideal world I would have a K-7 with my current lens lineup then a 7D with something like the 100-400mm L or the new Bigma for birds in flight and fast moving subjects You will be jo...

I got it, which is quite amusing as I registered for the other forum ages ago and haven't been back. Seems a bit heavy on the "rich American Republican with no sense of humour" to me! Surely putting both of those user groups together is a bit like opening the hatch between the sharks and the kill...

baseball cap
Back in the late 1980s I had a black Pentax t-shirt with red lettering. And we had a batch of v-neck sweaters made for members of Durham Photographic Society which many of us wore at inter-club events. Mine's still in the wardrobe, looking hopelessly out-dated. As for baseball caps, the peak would ...
