Originally posted by TomB_tx I will point out, as someone who also went to the K-5 to use my MX lenses, that trying to focus them on the K-5 is dismal compared to the MX. The finder seems much smaller and harder to see exact focus. Many suggest a different focusing screen works better - I still have to try that. The K-5 will indicate when it thinks it is in focus, but it isn't very precise.
However, after all that I must say I've gotten some nice results with the K-5 and older lenses. It's just not the joy to use that the MX was.
If I find myself having to do really fine focus and the target isn't running around or moving, the LCD works well for focusing as well. Its kind of awkward, but it works.
