Sounds like a challenge to me. I'll have a go later.
I hope you find a way to make it work, I use Lightroom but neither of the other two.

The discussion in the above would seem to indicate that it can be done on a PC with either
Pentax Remote Assistant and Capture 1
Pentax Remote Assistant and Picassa 2

but not Lightroom

If you have a MAC then it can be done with
Pentax Remote Assistant
Aperture + plugin

His postage probably includes a handling charge by the courier. Quite often you will see cheap postage and then find that the carrier will charge £15 - 20 handling charge that must be paid before they will hand the goods over.

There is a A series 135 on Ebay at the moment £60 -80 seems to be the going price.
If you can live with the reduced automation M series 135 are very common (£25 -30).
I have a M 135 F3.5 which is a cracking little lens for the money.

Can't be sure but there might have been a SMC 135mm f2.8 IF FA sold just after Christmas. I think it sold for around £350

Don, I have always found your help and advice extremely valuable. Your adhoc, in situ approach to solving problems is at times quite ingenious.

I think you may be doing yourself a disservice by offering what you propose for free.

I agree F16 looks best on my monitor too

Hi Steve,

Thanks. Basically I find it easier to manual focus with a split prism screen. The auto focus screen is a bit trickier. I wondered thought, that, if it did take a split prism screen I could get crisper shots when manually focusing.

Regards,
Angelo
I have a Super A and MES both with split screens and compared to them manual focussing with MZ6 screen does not come close. However I have been pretty happy with AF with FA series lens

You could try contacting Harrow Technical or Asahiphoto (both advertise on this forum and are based in the UK), those guys are likely to know If such a screen exists

As far as I am aware there were no Pentax made alternative screens for the MZ6.
It may be possible but I don't think it was not designed to be a user changeable item.

I actually find the MZ6 much easier to focus manually with my 'A' series lenses than the K10
