Do you find the 1.2x magnification of O-ME53 much help? Just want to be sure before I take the plunge.
Any experiences with the 3rd party magnifiers at all?

Apparently 36AF4 does not work with non A manual lenses. It does not fire when using a non A manual lens, whatever the shutter speed.

Being new to DSLRs (I've used manual bodies a lot for film) I'm having real trouble achieving good focus with wide angled lenses (50mm onwards no problem). The centre AF point covers a lot of area on a wide angle and I find it difficult to confirm my focus. I've seen a few viewfinder magnifiers on e-bay but before buying I'd like to find out if any of the members have used them. Additionally, are the right angled magnifying eyepieces any good?
Thanks in advance

Thank you. Nice lens.

I'm using the above flash which I bought off SRS ebay shop recently. A very nice flash till you're using an A or F lens. For some reason the flash completely refuses to fire when using a non A manual lens (in this case a Helios 44K). Any advice on how to make this work with a Helios 44K?
Thanks

Can't PM you for the Miranda unless you send me the PM.

Since I'm new to the forum I can't PM. I would like to buy this lens.
