Just been Googling about it...
The Pentax one is the O-ME53.
There is also a Nikon one that fits - DK-21M which gives 1.17x magnification.
However, I have read that some have probs when wearing specs - ie not being able to see the whole frame and LED info
Clarky, I presume you don't wear specs?
Matt

And the optional magnified eyecup accessory will bring it up to 1.2.

Thanks Gwyn,
As i said....I am patient. I will wait till after the weekend. Still seems strange, these days. I have had subscriptions from Practical Photography and Digital Photo.Both under the umbrella of EMAP. They always arrived within a week. I ordered two lenses from Japan.Both times within 3 days at my doorstep.British Mail, British Rail and British Airways. They all seem to share the same common denominator. DELAYED.

Thier cricketers are little slow also Thanks Gwyn,

Well, I'm not sure about the difference in size... I've only had a quick go at using my brother-in-law's *ist-DL and it was horrible in comparison to the *ist-D/DS pentaprism.
The Pentax viewfinders (pentaprism) are among the clearest out there. As far as I know there is no way of making it larger. I thought the magnified viewfinder attachment shows the centre of the image larger (for accurate manual focus), but effectively crops it.... but I could be wrong!!
Actually... just checking the specs on Bojidar's site...
The DL2 has a 0.85x magnification with 96% coverage.
The D/DS/K10D/K20D have a 0.95x magnification with 95% coverage.
So, yes, they'll appear larger and clearer
All the pentaprism bodies have 0.95x mag, and all the pentamirror have 0.85x

I would love to subscibe to this magazine, but 26quid for 4 mags seems a little steep and if Martin has trouble getting it into the Netherlands then getting it too Aust will be even worse.
If anyone wants to part with any of thier previous editions and if the price is right let me know. Thanks

Well it appears we are returning to some sort of normality around here.
Good job to the guys doing the programming, It must have been hell over the last 24hrs. Better you than me is all i can say. But you have achieved a lot in a short space of time.
You can all go for a 5 minute smoke break

One thing that does bug me... the cookie that is supposed to keep me logged in doesn't work. I can't seem to get the site to remember me.
