Originally posted by mhd Having learned on an old all manual canon FTB with the prisms that disappear when focus is achieved, I've long missed the ease of focusing with one. I've been tempted to purchase one of these but it seems like a fairly expensive gamble when the cons aren't fairly well articulated. How exactly does it screw up the metering? Is there an effect on auto-focus when a non-manual lens is in use? Ugh... too many unknowns to pony up the money.

KatzEye's official position, backed up by my experience, is that the K7 (and I assume the K5) do not suffer from any spot-metering issues, at least not with their screens. Earlier bodies can. There are no AF issues on any body, to my knowledge, as the AF operates independently of the focus screen.
