Latest Review Posted PENTAX Refconverter A
Review is for Pentax Refconverter - A , which I bought to replace the 'M' version. I did so because M version had too small viewing area and the viewfinder information in my Z1p and K10D were cut off. I am using it with my MX , Z1p and K10D, to assist my low angle photography as well as in other applications. Generally speaking I like using cameras in portrait mode a lot and this ref converter allows me lowering the framing to just the right level with me just looking down , like in waist lever finder . Also low angle photos are breeze with this as well as night shots ( moon shots particularly hard without X2 magnification to nail the focus).

Now I can focus much more accurately with my Tokina 17mm because central part of the area in X2 mode gives me around 35mm FOW - which is much easier to focus with split screen. I also checked it on my fault K1000 and can confirm that this Refconverter-A WILL fit the viewfinder of K1000 with no problem. I don't know why some saying that this will work only with all pentax bodies from M-series. to me K-series also is supported, In all cases the viewfinder is very well visible with all surrounding areas.
