focussing screen for istDS

Hi all,

does anyone know where I can get an alternative focussing screen for my istDS? I'd really like one of the split-screen (?) types like I always used to have on my old second-hand SLRs. I seem to remember reading somewhere that it's possible to change the focussing screen of my DS, but can't seem to find any more details anywhere. Any suggestions on suppliers / costs / difficulty / tips would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Bill

Hi,
As far as I know, the only AF bodies that have user changable screens are the SFXn/SFX, Z1/Z1p/Z5 and the MZS. For the *ist a new screen would have to be installed professionally and again as far as I am aware there has never been an AF screen with either microprism or split image aids.

Regards
Kim

No problem to change the screen.
Avaible from Pentax are only two.







50€ each here in Germany

A split screen is custom made from MX spareparts ordered directly from Pentax Japan. This will take some time.




73 €




DS + split screen.
