MarcelG - As stated earlier, if this set doesn't sell in another week I plan to sell them separately. As stated earlier, the set might actually work out cheaper because I have priced it that way.

Hi MarcelG,

JohnX is correct; The KatzEye fits K20D and K10 and not the K5.

Hi John, as you have gathered I have plans to sell this off as a bundle and hence priced it low. But if this doesn't fly in the next 2 weeks, please PM me with a fair offer if you are still interested and the BL-K20 is yours.

In original Box with the following
- Katz Eye Split prism with OptiBrite and 1/4 grid
- Extra battery (Pentax Original)
- Kirk BL-K20 L Bracket
- Strap
- Charger
- Manuals that came along with the camera
- Original K20D focusing screen

The camera was never exposed to rain/inclement weather and has always been cared for. PM me if you need more info/pictures. I had this as a backup for my K5 and 645NII but carrying all three is not making much sense any more.

The KatzEye ($150 as of today) helped me plenty when composing and focusing in the field and studio esp. portraiture and macro without resorting to live-view and removing my eye from the viewfinder (Butterflies don't like movement and are easily scared); so I am leaving it mounted in the K20D, I will include the original K20D screen as well in the package.

Shutter actuations according to camerashuttercount.com is 7990
Asking price 280GBP/350Euro + shipping (ships out of Germany. Not sure how much it costs but will let us know on confirmation and your choice of shipping and insurance)

Try one from these from F-stop I use their Tilopa BC and have never looked back. Extremely well made.

BTW if you are going the 67II route, pack a extremely good tripod and remember to lock-up the mirror whenever possible link. The scanned film (the lovely Provia/Velvia come to mind) just doesn't do justice when compared to viewing the same on the light-box with a nice loupe (Schneider 10x or the legendary Mamia 5x). If you want a medium-format that you can hand-hold, give the 645N-II a long thought. There is the lovely bokeh-master 150mm 2.8, ultra sharp 75mm2.8 and plenty others and when you are ready, upgrade to 645D with the same lens set. BTW Hartblei+CZ make some excellent Tilt-shift (Super-Rotator as they call it) for the 645 mount-> link.

I don't have the 150 but use that trick for my 300 F4

AFAIK anything up 1:2 is considered Macro; for example the legendary CZ Makro planar 100mm F2 ZK does 'only' 1:2

I tend to use primes for multi-row Pano as there is no fear of zoom creep, Less/predictable field (of) curvature than zooms and each of em fit nicely in my pockets without making me look funny. I find that generally primes are more resistant to flare when compared to zoom as well.
