KPS 1.35x on the K-x?

TexasLangGenius · 12-01-2010, 11:11 PM

Hi everyone,

I was considering buying the KPS 1.35x magnifier to go on my K-x since I use manual focus lenses but when I look at the compatibility list on ebay it doesn't have the K-x on it.

Has anyone purchased this viewfinder and had it work on the K-x? Just wanted to know before I spend my money.

Thanks

The KPS requires some grinding of the mounting plate to fit on the K-x, (the LCD screen gets in the way.) but it can be done. Much easier, though is to get a Tenpa one.

Just as good, glass-wise, but with a smaller mounting that should clip right on. Only drawback is that it doesn't *clamp down* like the KPS does, but that's what makes the KPS not fit the smallest cameras.

There's a thread on them I just responded to, today.
