Needn't be a pentax camera. I would like focus peaking. Would be good if it was cheapish. Tilting screen would be a bonus, and probably mirrorless.
a bunch of us use pentax glass on sony bodies, but anything with a good evf is going to be better than a dslr for mf use.
rear lcd screens are barely usable, they wash out in bright light, and they make hand-holding the camera difficult, because it's away from your face.
evf screens are oled, not lcd, and they are shaded, so they don't wash out.
focus peaking is not a panacea, it's just a tool, that takes experience with changes to the settings to get the best use out of.
focus magnification is where the accuracy is, if you have the time for it.
fa35 is one of the best lenses that i've used for focus peaking.
