Hi Anvh, I have just got back to thinking about these screens, and found this review Its from another Pentax forum, but the person there has done an in-depth report on all types of split screens. I think I will buy one after Christmas. Regards Colin

Thank you Colin, reading it now :) Seems the Focusingscreens.com Ec-B is the best of the bunch. :)

Pete you might be right but like you said there's no in-depth review of Katz Eye so how do you know? Also Katz Eye's are twice as expensive. :(

Ah yeah never mind, since you wrote Katz Eye a lot I thought you where suggesting that it was better. :D :wink:

I know that a Katz Eye is a good investment, and as important so as valuable as a lens, and better than a cheap Chinese eBay screen. I don't know if the ones in between are worthwhile. Maybe they are. But definitely a Katz Eye would be a safe bet.

Well I'm extremely happy with my Katz Eye screen and consider it money well spent :) Obviously it's an absolute boon for manual focussing but also it's great when using auto focus. Why? Well because you can pretty much instantly see if your lens has missed focus. A sort of a double focus confirm...

A sort of a double focus confirmation :wink: That would be triple if you've the focusing on single focus then it does a double check on his own. That's one reason Pentax focus slower then other makes.

Katz eye use the same method as most others. They buy fullframe screens and cut them down to size. Katz-eye use the Nikon K3 screens so if you get the standard version there would be little difference between other brands. Katz-eye have the opti-bright so that makes them different but like yo...

I'll chip in and say that now I wouldn't be without my Katz Eye screen, in my opinion it is really that good. In fact I have taken to manual focussing on many more shots now than I would have done without it. If I ever upgrade to another body in the future a Katz Eye screen will be the first ite...

Hi Greytop Has your Katz Eye screen got the OptiBrite option :?: Would this be a significant improvement over the standard one. Regards

Hi Colin, yes I went for the OptiBrite option, it is said to improve the brightness with slower lenses (I was thinking more of the occasional use I put my 18-55 and 50-200 here) otherwise I might not have bothered.

Hi Greytop, thanks for the info, as I only have the 18-55 and 50-200 to use, then I should consider it I have also just bought the Pentax-A 50mm f1.7 lens from another member of the forum, having tried it I do struggle with the focus (old eyes glasses etc.) so will save up. Various other project...

Hi Colin, you will find the Katz Eye screen especially useful with your lovely little A 50mm f/1.7.... nice bright aperture and manual focus :)

:) one thing at a time... still trying to get her using the right eye :D I wish I could get used to using my left eye. The right one's not sharp enough to focus any more! Perhaps I should have put a Katz Eye on my Christmas list.:oops: Kevin
