If you want the ultimate in focus peaking and the most
accurate focusing possible..... see this software....

No Pentax version though!

I read that when it was published. Amazing machine. It's for measuring lenses though not adjusting them. I still reckon the mallet shown in the pics is the adjustment tool
No it's purely for adjusting lenses....

A mallet is always handy whatever you are doing

Optikos make some very expensive/specialist equipment for
adjusting lenses.......

Have you tried Neutralhazer?

Also a Tiffen Haze-1 Filter will increase the contrast particularly
at the edges....

100% Crop Left Edge of frame... (reduced from 1260 wide by
forum software to 800w)
Filter on Left .... No Filter on right .... K-5

Notice that the 'Z' doesn't have Ricoh printed on it
Perhaps they realized they made a mistake with the K3 or it's
just that they don't know what they are doing Or they
are looking to buy the 'Bronica' trademark

For some reason it's being kept separate from the
Ricoh Pentax DSLR lines?

Will the pros who buy it know that there's no such
thing as a Pentax homepage...... It's all Ricoh now!

That's the wrong one they did a beam splitter attachment like the Pentax one.

It's shown on the leaflet .....

http://www.dewijs-3d.com/Services/technical_documents/Other_manuals/Stitz%20stereo%20adapter%20UK.pdf

The best beamsplitter is the Carl Zeiss Steritar which used
prisms instead of mirrors. Unfortunately they go for about £300

Some samples here

Have a look on ebay for the Stitz version it can be adjusted
from about 50mm to 300mm. It also has a variable centre baffle
to control the dark strip up the middle. Very well made.

I don't think a lens wider then 50mm will work.

Which part of "For Parts or Not Working" do you not understand

I suppose they could have included "Would be highly suitable
for landfill" but that would upset the greens

Clifton Cameras give a 2 year warranty on everything.....
but it gets complicated if the manufacturer also gives a
2 year warranty..... You have to prove that you registered
it with the manufacturer

I've never dealt with them so I'm not commenting on what
their service is like if you have to return faulty goods.

Looks like a blackbird that's just had a bath

They open their beaks to cool down. That's also the
reason for the bath.
