Oh, you mean one of those laggy screens that other brands use where you see the action after it's happened? Just worse for a different reason. Better off with a 1950s style optical viewfinder (so long as not too close to get parallax issues.) At least you don't have to put the camera in burst mode and take 20 shots to get one if you're lucky which is what users of those do almost all the time.
People don't have to buy a DSLR with an optical viewfinder if they prefer something else do they? And vice versa.
I thought Pentax's aim is to have a hybrid system so you can take your pick, at least that's what they filed a patent for.

They'd be alright if one could actually see what was on the screen! But in the meantime there's Pentax.
I really can't do differential focussing on a tiny EVF screen. sorry. And often not even see the view that the camera is seeing when the screen is drenched with sunlight. So sorry again.
Then you can't see what setting you have set. Sorry.
Do you want me to go on?
If EVFs had an optical eye level viewfinder and full proper controls like cameras used to have it would be a help. But we bought SLRs to overcome that, so why take a step backwards to what is effectively a simple point and shoot?
At least Pentax make proper cameras!

Because photographers can't be inspired by a view unless it's through a viewfinder? And, of course, we all know it's impossible to compose a pic through any other kind of viewfinder.
For some that's absolutely true. Composing with a rear screen is nothing but pure guesswork!Because photographers can't be inspired by a view unless it's through a viewfinder? And, of course, we all know it's impossible to compose a pic through any other kind of viewfinder.
I've enough experience of cameras and phones with just a rear screen to know that (for me) it's 100% true.

I was thinking we could have some peace and quiet this Saturday, looks like the Grandkids will be coming over from Bradford after all Matt Hancock also confirmed that households in the areas of the north of England affected by the additional lockdown measure cannot visit each other at home – but they can visit households outside the affected areas as long as they observe social distancing.
I live in this area. Can I meet friends and family outside of the area in their homes?
You should not travel outside of this area to meet people in their homes or garden.

If you could have got closer to that tree in the bottom right hand corner it would have given you a very picturesque foreground and added depth. Always try and get some foreground interest if you can. Some people it would seem carry round a tree branch with them to do just that (so it would seem!)

Well done, that's brought out more detail. Hadn't realised that the orginal could have been so dark.
I've had a play with it, have I gone too far for your liking?
That's processed similar to how Glyn worked his.
If you had a raw file for it it would give more scope for recovery.

Actually I got the shot I wanted and wasn't worried about a big close up, Just wanted it in context with the general view from the garden. (I can always crop it!)

It's not as if their lens parters, Tamron, don't make full frame converters already for other brands. so it truly is odd there isn't one yet.I know I would buy a full frame 1.4x teleconverter. To be honest I have no idea why 3 years after the K-1 it is still missing from the system.
