Hello All,

Can anyone suggest the make and model for a right-angle viewer that will fit a K-7 eyepiece? Thanks in advance, Stu

I love my Oplympus Varimagni finder.

This is a question I should have asked before buying one that fits my Spotmatic perfectly but does not fit my K7. Never even occured to me that the dimensions of the eyepiece attachment would be different.

Thanks, RawheaD, for the tip. I looked at the Olympus Varimagni on the internet, but couldn't tell if it fit the K-7. You didn't mention in your post if you were using it with a K-7. So... do you know if it fits the K-7?

varimagni worked on my old K10D and current K20D FWIW...

The viewfinder eyepiece frame for all Pentax cameras since the ME has stayed the same size - just slightly larger than the one from the K and earlier cameras.

The Olympus OM VariMagni fits my K10D perfectly. I bought it NOS for $25. I have no experience with the VA-1 though. It was introduced in 2004, I believe.
