Thanks so much for assuaging my fears - your explanation makes sense. I just didn't want to start my amateur photographer career with a defect camera (which, although nothing compared to the more expensive models, is a heavy financial toll for a poor student like me).
Anyway, thanks.
It's night and my tripod hasn't arrived yet, so I can't go shoot now (apart from my roomies), but I will be out there tomorrow morning :D.
Thanks, and my best,
Marxram.

Oh, I think I may have answered my own question:
These two threads seem to address the same issue: Thread 1 Thread 2
Could anyone check that these two threads are considering the same issue and that they are correct in stating that it's a part of the camera's focusing screen?
Many thanks,
Marxram

Hello all - just got my K-X with the 50-300mm option lens, I am so excited. I read the reviews, and for me (lot of low-light dance photography), the sensitive K-X seemed like the best choice.
Anyway, this is my first DSLR, and I apologize if this is a retarded question, but when I look through the viewfinder (the default 18mm-55lens, or whatever it is), it is as though I see a very very fine mesh in the viewfinder... it's not exactly crystal clear to to the image beyond. Think of pulling a very slight woman's beige stocking over the eye. I was worried that this might be a defect in the camera (gotten from a very reputable retailer)... so, I guess the question is:
-Should the viewfinder be crystal crystal clear;
-Or is what I am experiencing a part of the DSLR's in general?
I tried taking a few shots, and they seem fine, but I am not enough of a photographer to know when there is a problem.
Thanks so much for appeasing my fears (or confirming them!!!);
MY best,
Marxram.
PS - I was careful when installing the lens, everything was clean/dry/correctly done.
