Originally posted by jeffkrol sorry if I missed it but did you do extensive testing w a ds screen???????
no, both cameras have their origonal screnes, I have not yet decided what I am going to do, Iunderstand the K10 meters well with the DS screen on manual lenses, but that this upsets automatic lenses and metering. (because of the fudge factor that Pentax has to sort out the K10 Metering) I have also heard that many split image screnes interfere with spot metering.
I use spot metering extensively because I shoot wild life and want what I am focused on properly exposed.
This has left me with a problem that I have not yet figured out fully.
I could put, for example a split image in my *istD, because it meters well, but I use it for flash with K mounts (because it is TTL) and don;t want to loose the spot (again flash for wildlife)
The K10 I use with most AF lenses, so if I change screens to suit Manual apature lenses, I get into trouble with my newer lenses.
As I said, I am kind of stuck for the moment.
