I know the Katzeye is supposed to improve MF, does it, but does it adversly effect AF?

Enigmaticca · 07-03-2011, 07:17 AM

Does the KatEye have the OptiBrite treatment and/or AF brackets?

Cheers

The Katzeye does improve MF. I find it such a joy to use

especially with my 50mm. As far as AF goes, I did have to micro adjust it to my Tamron 17-50mm and the FA 31mm. Then again, I had to do the same with my K-7.

The Katzeye has AF brackets but no grids and no OptiBrite treatment. Hope that helps Enigmaticca.

What does "decided to go towards the FF route." means? Sorry, ESL!

The katzeye is already installed on the k-5 - I'm just showing the cover so you might know which focusing screen it is. Also the oem focus screen will be included with the sale.
