Sorry, did not mean to jump to conclusions.
I have used strips cut from a post-it note and strips of clear scotch tape to make up the distance on mine.
However, I believe focusing screen.com supplies the correct number of shims with each screen. Small variability in each camera of course but if you have all 4 in and it is still not there I start to wonder what is happening.
Is there a metal shim that was installed on the stock screen? I have a k-x, so I'm not familiar with the k-5, but on the k-x the metal shim had to be removed and replaced with the two plastic shims focusingscreen,com supplied.
Just checking, but are you sure you need more shims and not less? Particularly if the metal shim is still in place.
