I think Nikon-sized eyepieces fit Pentaxes, actually, though my memory fails me to say for sure: someone else's does, anyway. :)

Well, Tenpa does make a 1.2x magnifier, that'll surely vignette less than the 1.36, though it's obviously not as strong of magnification.

I don't know about that specific combination, but in general magnifiers affect things like that a bit differently for different people: faces and eyes are different. On average it seems that they make the numbers a little harder to see (but not impossible.)

I personally seem to have less trouble seeing the whole finder through a magnifier than most, but my best guess is that if you're already having trouble seeing it all at once, adding a magnifier won't really make the view much more inconvenient than it already is. (because you probably have to shift your eye anyway.)

Are you shooting through eyeglasses? That can be a different story.

Hrm. It's one thing I do like about the KPS piece, it may be a bit big on a K-X, but you know that isn't going anywhere. :)

I suggest, before you tried glue with yours, perhaps wedging it on with some kind of thin plastic or maybe bits of bamboo under there would be good?

I don't know if the K20d has a bigger viewfinder, but it's different in someways, at least. Pentaprism rather than pentamirrr, which I assume the K-x has.

I think someone has had reasonable luck with the Pentax stock eyepiece or a Nikon one I can't recall the number of, and glasses.

I normally push my glasses aside to shoot, and I just don't know how you'd *completely* avoid vignetting when shooting through your glasses, anyway. Would adding on a corrective diopter be an option, Corkboard? Hangu's idea of contacts also would be promising, I suppose.
