Originally posted by J831526 Not using a manual lens. I have the 18-55 and 50-200; same problem with both. I cleaned the viewfinder (inside and outside) as well as the mirror. Also adjusted the diopter. Between the cleaning and better eye focus things are somewhat improved. No problem in good light, and performance in poor light is now passable. Still think something's wrong

With slower lenses such as these (especially when zoomed to the tele end), the viewfinder will be a little dark. For a bright viewfinder, you might want to consider adding a fast prime (such as the
DA 50mm F1.8) or a F2.8 zoom like the Sigma 17-50mm, Tamron 17-50mm, or Pentax 16-50mm.
