The KPS 1.3x Eyepiece experience.

vitalsax · 03-09-2009, 03:23 PM

I've read so many good opinions about it that i thought to mylself why not? Then i ordered one from 47stphoto through amazon. When i got the package i noticed that they put 2 nikon adapters instead one for Pentax. That was my luck because i had the perfec excuse to return it. Why?

1. It does not help you to see any better or any closer (that makes a difference).
2. The glass is so poor that looks like u r using the worst filter on your lens ever!
3. reduce your angle of viewing.

pros? Just read all the others threads about it! That was my mistake to believe completely without testing by myself so i want to help people like me to not buy it without first trying out this product.

ps: i tried to resell it to two others friends, one uses a d3 and another a 1ds. In case u think it's just me

Did you get the U-13C? That's the one to get.

Hi,
I've got one from eBay. It did have the Pentax bracket.
it was kind of tricky to install. It has a clear lens and it's a little better than OM-53 (?) and much better than the original eye piece. I have no problem with MF. The only "-" is it doesn't cover 100% of the viewfinder: I can see (clearly) the info at the bottom but have to move a tiny bit to see the upper edge.
