@andrew_c: I'll try it without the magnifier. I actually bought it in the first 2 weeks from when I bought the body so I haven't really tried it on my manual lenses without the magnifier.

@thoughton: I guess in some way it makes sense to try a cheap focus screen first, but on the other hand it might discourage me if the quality turns out to be less than expected. I take it you are happy with your chinese made screen? (not that focusingscreen isn't chinese). Does it feel any darker than the stock screen? How about AF? Any changes there?

Thanks for all the help guys.

I do have quite a few manual lenses, which is the reason I'm contemplating the purchase of such a screen. The stock screen seems not to be enough for me even with the O-ME53 magnifier.

The reason why I would go with K3 is that is has both the microprism and the split-image while the Ec-B only has the split image aid.

I'm just wondering if any of you had any experiences using the K3 focus screen from focusingscreen.com. I'm specifically wondering about the K-r.

I will probably order one as soon as they restock (god knows when that will be) since Katzeye is a bit too rich for my blood.

I was initially deciding between the Ec-B one and the K3, but decided on the latter due to the K3 having microprisms as well. From what I've read they help focusing when the subject doesn't really have any clear lines where split image excells? Am I correct in thinking this?

Thank you for a quick answer, but I will hold off for now since I have a few more lenses up for grabs and the cost might be more than expected.

Sorry for that.

Hi,

I'm new to the forum so I can't send PMs. Are you willing to ship to Slovenia?

Do you have any idea how old the lens is?
Thanks
