I'm just getting into manual focussing, and often struggle to see clearly the focus indicator on my K100D. And I'm too deaf to depend on the beep. As I understand it, the O-ME53 fits all models, so as and when I move up to a K-5 it would still be useful. The KPS has been favorably mentioned here before but I can't find a UK source. Is it worth the hassle of getting one from Taiwan or am I likely to be happy with an O-M from SRS?

I have both (from when I had 2 bodies.
The KPS has slightly better magnification (and will also fit all models) but the ME53 looks a lot nicer when on the camera.

Depends whats important to you I suppose.

The KPS has better optics...it is clearly sharper. I had one from overseas and was very happy.
