Right Angle Finder K

Does anyone know if the Ashia Pentax Right Angle Finder K will fit on the Pentax K10 D or the Pentax K 20 D?

I have the Reefconverter M and that fits the K10D.
Not sure if thats helpful or not, depends if the connectors are a standatrd size through the range.
So not really helpful I suppose

Hi Rees, if you look at this page :

http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/misc/focus/index.html

It seems to indicate that it won't. If it fits an M body it should
be OK because they are the same size as the K10D. Strange thing is an M Refcoverter fits a K body OK so there must only be a fraction of a mm in it.

Thank you shim for the info and the link, I am still a bit in the dark though. The only thing I suppose I can do is visit the second hand shop (not photographic) again and take my camera along to try it, if it has not been sold. I saw it there, but did not have a camera with me and the chap in the shop did not know what it was.

A while back I purchased a Seagull Right Angle Finder and it came with 4-5 fittings one of which fitted my K10D. I purchased it from SRB-Griturn.
Hope that helps. It cost £60.

On a dark desert highway, cool Pentax K5 in my hand.

Thanks Kenty, interesting, but it was the Pentax K angle finder I spotted in this second hand shop and wondered if it would fit the K10D or K20 D.

If it looks like the one in the end of the top row here: Pentax Kit then it will fit the K10D

I have Pentax's right angle finder, the one with the switch for 1x or 2x magnification. It is either the M or the A; I'm at my work office so I can't look at it and tell which it is. It works fine with my MX, my LX, and my K10D. I bought it used several years ago, not cheap but better than standing on one's head to shoot ground-level subjects!

Pentax changed the viewfinder with the M series of cameras, the Spotmatic era RAFs fit up to the K series of cameras. The M series ones fit to present. So the answer is no, it wont fit.
