Hi,

I am looking to buy the right angle finder, ref converter A for my K20D. Do Pentax still manufacture this item ? or is buying used my only option ?

Thanks

I found an Australian website that sells them

There was a UK website but it didn't actually give a price.

Hope that's some kind of help

You could always try a generic one, such as the Seagull, if you can't get a genuine Pentax one.

Hi Gwyn,

I had a Seagull one a couple of years ago when I was disabled with a Nikon. Not impressed with how it fit I eventually purchased the pukka Nikon finder. They may have changed since then ?

For use on a digital, ref converter M (which is the one I have) is almost identical to ref converter A.... A seems to just have a slightly bigger hole at the bottom to cut down of reflections on the Super A. I've used mine on the Super A and K10D without any problems.

Really handy for Manual focusing especially at 2x and for macro work. The dioptric focus adjustment to look at the viewfinder screen is a lot more precise than the one on the camera. I certainly wouldn't be without one.

There is an M version for sale on here. I have contacted the seller three times over the past four weeks......no reply !
