Thank you, my gut feeling was something is wrong/broken. I think you have confirmed that.
I already sent a message to the seller on ebay asking if they were aware of it. I guess if you are using it as a point and shoot, or using the back live view LCD it wouldnt matter. I just cant imagine living with an SLR without any info displayed in the viewfinder.

I am hoping someone can help me out.
I just purchased a used K30 in great physical condition that does not display any information in the viewfinder. No aperture, shutterspeed, etc in the bottom black area of the viewfinder when you push the shutter down half way. Otherwise takes pictures just fine and rear LCD works fine.
I have a K100d for many years and love it, I was so excited to move up to the K30 but now I am very upset. I read the manual and played around with the settings, took battery out a few times, etc and the viewfinder never displays anything.
Am I missing something here? Some setting to turn it on, or is it just broken? I purchased it on ebay in excellent condition, so it can be returned. But I just wish it worked since it is otherwise a great camera.
thank you.
