Thanks for that ... Anybody else after one and fancy going halves on the postage?
Im after one of each (LL60 and LF60) after scratching mine while trying to fit a split screen.

Will leave it open until tonight then will place my order.
Back in the UK Tuesday so can sort out delivery then

Mike.

Well I'd like to split postage but by the time you've actually posted it to me I suspect the saving might be minimal. Then again it might only be 70 pence or so to post in UK.

Email direct if you like [email protected] - as it happens I'm in Barcelona at the end of the week but I doubt that helps any. I think I'd go for an LF-60

If we had 3 or 4 of us ...

I suppose we would both save about £1.50 each which isnt really a lot .. unless anyone else would like to join in to make it worthwhile?

I ordered mine last night, never even thought about doing a group buy.

Will let you know when it arrives, wanted the LL60 for a whilst now, I miss the rule of 3rd marks.

is it just me or can I not work this pixmania link / search filter?

I click on the link above and get 'No results match your search'

Search for LF60 get 139 results none of which is the LF60 screen, but it does give things like a 60cm IDE ATA cable!

Search for LL60 get 144 results inc. ipod cases and a braun shaver but no LL60 Screen!

Search for Pentax LL60, comes up with Lexar memory cards and Sennheiser headphones but no..... you get the picture!

So, question, how the bloody hell am I supposed to try and buy anything from that site?

My 2 screens arrived this morning and all I can say is WOW!
After getting finger prints and dust on my old screen while trying a cheap chinese split jobbie some 5 months ago I have to say its funny what you get used to.

Its nice to be able to see the world again ...

Mine arrived on Friday, the tweezers supplied work a treat, I have used the chinese screen before & found them well fiddly to fit.

Well pleased with the screen too...

what's the advantage with these screens ? apart from composition lines and being nice and new?

Do they serve some other function? are they designed for manual focussing or something?

No they don't serve any other function.

LF-60 is the standard screen that comes with the camera - to buy to replace a damaged one. LL-60 and LI-60 are the same but with different markings: http://homepage.mac.com/godders/ds-focus-screen.jpg
