I am just curious about those cheap chinese focusing screens sold on Ebay.
I have a K10D and a K200D, and from the text of the auctions i get that the screens for one model are not good for the other. I tought that the focusing screen was the same... and that those kind of screens are good for MF lenses, because it's easier to focus.
Now i read that installing a *ist screen on a later model is a way to cure the metering problems with manual focus lenses.
Coming back to the thread subject, i confess that i've never used the 2/28 K with a digital body, so i can't confirm the exposure problems. I mostly use the DSRL bodies with AF zooms (originally made for film) or a Tamron 2.5/90 macro (MF), and the only metering problems i experienced were related to some malfunctioning of the Tamron KA Adaptall/2 adapter.
I have very little experience with digital cameras, and i am very fond of my Pentax prime lenses, so any advice about possible metering problems with my old lenses would be very welcomed.
have fun
