Looking at the 'focusingscreen.com' website at the screens they offer for K-50 and K200D it looks like the locating/handling tab at the edge of the screen is in a different position for the two cameras. If this is the case and your Katzeye screen has such a tab then even if it's the right dimensions you wouldn't be able to fit a K200D screen into a K50 camera.

Hi coker, many thanks for the information.

I've yet to try focus stacking, but I've tried a similar lens setup without extension rings etc. and been surprised how will it works. I used a K200mm f4 lens attached to the camera and various manual lenses reversed (50mm, 35mm, 28mm) on flat or nearly flat subjects e.g. bank notes, coins, stamps etc.

How did you measure/manage the 1.5 deg focus ring rotation?

Cheers
Mike

Extraordinary level of detail!

Stacked?

Cheers
