I think this may be first time that anyone has mentioned such a problem with the K-r and it's certainly not something I noticed with the one I tested for ePHOTOzine.

Can you be a bit more specific?

Welcome to the forum giselle. You're answering a very old thread but thanks for the thought.

What is going in and out of adjustment is the eyepiece optics and this means that you can't focus on the ground glass. Nothing is happening to the image on the ground glass and the image itself is not going in and out of focus.

When adjusting the dioptre it is vital not to be looking at an image as our eyes try to compensate and the setting will be wrong. Look at a defocused plain white wall, or even take off the lens. Now adjust the dioptre until the etched lines are sharp and you will have the correct setting for your eyes.

There is a section of the instruction manual that also explains this.

Thank you Glyn, much appreciated!

Any comments could be about improvements or changes and it's entirely up to posters to do that if they want to. The facility is there if anyone wants to use it.

Because we already have an article section?

It doesn't matter if you focus with glasses on or off, but it does matter that you adjust the dioptre setting for your own eyesight, either with ot without glasses.

You are looking at an image on a ground glass screen when you look through the viewfinder and just need to be able to focus on it with the eye at rest.

Moved to general chat.

If you look at the annual mebership fee and look at the cost of individual propeerties to non-members then it's soon clear that it is very good value, the proviso being that you visit at least a few properties every year.

I'll loock this thread as we already have a thread running on the same subject.

It would be appreciated if we stay with English on the forums please.
