Item Description
.
For the last two years I've shot most of my K-1 photos with a Zacuto viewfinder attached to the back of my K-1's. In my opinion, it's the best wait to nail critical focus with fast lenses & wide apertures on manual focus lenses.

Above is a link to a short video by Lloyd Chambers on the value of using this very viewfinder, and how he uses it.

There are various sizes of Zacuto viewfinders, and I've owned a number of them. I've finally settled on this size/model finder as the perfect match for the Pentax K-1 camera. In order for these Zacuto viewfinders to fit on the K-1 and not block the battery compartment door, I had my machine shop friend professionally adjust the attachment bracket.

I own three of these same Zacuto viewfinders. The other two are attached to my K-1 cameras. The one I'm now selling was my back up - I don't believe that I ever used it.

So, this one's all set up and ready to go. Just attach it to the bottom of your K-1, adjust the red focusing wheel to fit your particular visual acuity, and you're ready to consistantly nail focus with your fast manual focus lenses.

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 all of the many extras that are show in the first photo. I'm not going to go over each one, I think you can probably figure out how to use them with a bit of research on the Internet.

If you have any problem installing this viewfinder on your K-1 (or adjusting it for your vision) I'll be happy to help you either over the phone or via email.

Of course the K-1 camera and Zeiss lens shown in the photos are not included.

Absolutely...

I have a potential offer from a member on the other side of the world, but I'd just as soon sell it to someone here in North America.


So, it's still available for the time being - feel free to make an offer.

I have a grip on my K-1, won't I need the extended frame?

Great point, this will not fit onto a K-1 with a grip.


Thanks for pointing this out. I have amended my description...
