viewfinder

Hi all! Im new member of this forum. I recently buyed a pentax k-5. after couple days of use i noticed that i have some kind of texture (grain) in viewfinder (like many small black dots), pictures are fine so i assume that it is something with viewfinder. Im confused becouse i dont know what it is, if it is normal or do my camera have some technical issues? Please help and give me some advice.

it's normal because without it, you'd never be able to manually focus - that "grain" is the series of microlenses that actually form the image. Some cameras have it more prominently than others, and in general, the more prominent, the easier it is to focus.
