Item Description
.

For the last two years I've focused 100% of my K-1 photos by using a Zacuto viewfinder attached to the back of my Pentax K-1 camera. In my opinion, it's the best way to consistently nail critical focus on those narrow DOF shots (especially for older shooters like me).

There are various sizes and types of Zacuto viewfinders, and I've owned all of them. I've finally settled on this size/model that's the perfect match for the Pentax K-1 camera. This one covers the entire K-1 LCD screen, with no part of the screen blocked out (like some do).

Also, unlike many stock Zacuto baseplates, with this particular Zacuto baseplate is the only one that can be installed on a K-1 (or K-1ii) and not block the battery door.

This viewfinder kit has already been custom fitted to my Pentax K-1 camera. All you have to do is attach it to your K-1, adjust the focusing wheel to fit your particular visual acuity, and you're ready to consistently nail focus with your manual focus lenses.

This used Zacuto viewfinder has pristine glass and a smooth operating focusing adjustment wheel. Overall it's in near mint condition, with some of the components being brand new.

Please note that this viewfinder will NOT fit onto a K-1 camera if the camera has a vertical grip on it.

You will receive an excellent, used Zacuto viewfinder, and all of the extras that are show in the first photo (of course the K-1 camera shown in the photos is not included).

This viewfinder comes with 4 extender frames. If you find that the focusing wheel on this finder is not sufficient to compensate for your poor vision, you can insert one or more of these extender frames until you achieve perfect focus.

I will consider shipping outside of the USA for an extra charge...

I didn't know this type of thing even existed. I'm such a noob. If I had the $, I'd jump on this and that A 50/1.2! What a pair that would be.

Right, to nail focus with a fast f/1.2 lens it would certainly help to have a Zacuto viewfinder like this on your camera.

I've received some questions about whether this viewfinder will fit on a Pentax KP camera. The kit shown in the photos is set up for a camera with a 3.2 inch LCD monitor (like the Pentax K-1). The Pentax KP (and K70) have 3.0 inch LCD monitors. If you want to use this viewfinder on your KP or K70, I can easily swap out the 3.2-inch mounting frame with a 3-inch mounting frame so it will work perfectly on you KP or K70 cameras.
