LX with FB-1 & FC-1 viewfinder

Hi All,

First a massive thanks to whoever posted the thread about the FB-1 & FC-1 LX 'finders on ebay last week (can't find the thread now). As I wear glasses, the extra long eye relief is much more comfortable.

If anybody knows how the two separate (it's a bayonet fitting apparently) I'd be grateful for any info?

Hi John, it was me who posted the ebay link (I think the posts get removed when expired) and I'm really pleased you got it

This link might help you with the finders..

... it's not the best quality, but might be of use.

All the best

Just push the button on the FB-1 and turn, Just like a Pentax lens.

Thanks guys (especially LennyBloke for the original pointer).

I had tried, but not knowing which way to twist it, I thought it prudent to ask first.

John.

I don't know why, but there's another similar combination FB-1 and FD-1 on Ebay at present (from SRS) at £99

Very very nice indeed
