Are there any good sources out there to buy focusing screens for the Pentax LX?

eBay always seems to have some. However I found all mine at a local camera store that has a large selection of used gear. Found four LX screes for $10.00 CDN each, all NOS.

I would check your local camera stores and see if they have any.

To answer your question, I would first do a Web search and hit eBay, followed by the usual used gear resources and local camera stores. Perhaps you might try the same?

You can still buy the split screens ones on Ebay but the much more useful inexpensive dual 45 deg split screen ones have disappeared. I had to take one out of my K30 to put in the K70 .
