So it is ok to besmearch their customer service? Did they misrepresent metering function?
Any cursory examination of focus screens would show that they either pass or reflect a different amount of light than the original. Therefore, they would have a different amount of light reaching the meter, resulting in a different meter reading.
Bright light passing, etched guidelines as opposed to dark silk-screened lines. Brighter versus darker screen background field. Those points were spelled out and obvious.
We don't have the right to complain about customer service if we don't analyze a situation completely.
I bought that screen from them for my K5. I needed to have the added ease of manual focus. Yes, my metering is slightly off. However I knew that would happen. I do not have the right to complain about them in a public forum. They are doing a respectful service/business. There maybe issues associated with their behavior. I am not aware of them and you have not shown them.
Now our forum has given them a black eye!
