yes, an angle finder. I have an old Olympus "varimagni" which rotates and has a 2.5x focus magnifier; goes straight onto the K5ii.

Ahh... no. You'll have trouble finding a viewing screen like that I'd guess, there aint that much light there. Remember it's a part-silvered mirror, a focussing screen, and multiple passes through the prism to get to your eye as-is; add another mirror or prism and another focussing screen and you can see it's a helluva lot more complex than a direct-projection screen would be...

Sounds as though something along the lines of PK TETHER is what you're after. That would allow you to hook your camera up to a laptop/netbook (not sure if it would work with iPod/Tablet pc), ans you will be pretty-much seeing what your camera's sensor is picking up.

I have one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2013-Zigview-ZigView-SC-V100B-Digital-Viewfinder-/2009... which is a good idea spoilt by a poor quality screen (and, no I did not pay that huge price for it). It can do other things as well but I only use it to avoid getting my knees in the mud, or for holding the camera above other peoples' heads
