Split image focus screen???

*OrenMc* · 09-27-2008, 07:58 AM

I have a couple manual focus lenses and I want to get something that will help me with focusing. I have heard of the katzeye, is this simular and do you think it will work. The price is right

And the seller has good ratings.

jinfinance is the pick of the ebay sellers.

Other options include haoda (this is what I have, very happy with it): Focusing screen for Nikon Minolta Olympus and more

or

Focusing Screen

Note that k10d and k20d use the same screen.

Thanks bonovox, glad to here the good rep of seller because the screen is very affordable. Form the links you gave me though I see there are a variety of types also.
From the link I have which would you campare it to? Is it the same view as the Katzeye?

Is it easy to change the screen myself?

Thanks again,
Oren

I'd say between cheap, cut from OEM screens - go for the one cut from Minolta X700 - not jinfinance's... I had both and when I sold my K10D, I left Minolta's to use on *istDL
