thanks for all the advices guys, but...
I couldn't find sigle one page from which I could order the KPS (I don't do eBay, neither PayPal), and despite great offer from Diego I went for O-ME53. Now I'm waiting for postman, I hope he/she will be in soon, I'll let you know how I like it then..

PS: Now I need to save for Katzeye (since the lens I really want it for is SMC 400/5.6 I don't want to risk fidling around with my eye position with chinesse screens)

Thank you a lot

regards

Peter

Received my KPS U-13C today. Very fast ship from Taiwan - only 6 days from ordering to receipt. I swapped out the adapter plate using the supplied tool, screwed on the eyering and attached it to my K20D - maybe 5 minutes total. Perfect fit! Eye relief is very good and I wear glasses. Magnification is sharp & clear. For me, it is well worth the cost. Thanks Diego!

Maybe a dumb question so here goes.

Will it replace this?

.Attachment 33600

Or does it just attach to the outside?

Ouch!

Unfortunately for you it attaches to the outside.

OK,
so after over week of using O-ME53:
I like it!
quality of built is great, materials OK, optics fine.
Magnification is just right so I still can see whole VF without having to move my eye about. Picture in it is clear and sharp.
For £32 and next day delivery well worth it...
