The specs say that the K-1 has a fixed focusing screen. Somewhat of a disappointment for those of us with "interesting" manual focusing lenses. I suppose with the mirror sliding up and back, there just isn't room for the opening frame. I hope the Natural Bright Matte III screen is good for manual focus, particularly at only 0.7x magnification. I'm used to 0.9x (and crazy bright) on my Pentax LX.
There's always focus assist as well.
The lenses I'll have to test manual focus with:
- Pentax-A 15/3.5
- Pentax-A 16/2.8
- Pentax-A 20/2.8
- Samyang 135/1.8
- Tamron SP 300/5.6
The last two will really test its mettle.
