I don't have an Mz-5n or Mz-3, but I do have the magnifier FB. I put it on my Mz-S. To be honest, I don' tthink it would be a workable solution for general shooting. You see only a small portion of the rame. Also, the magnifier itself has a focusing mechanism. Once set for your eye, it doesnot seem like it needs adjustment, but it is one more thing to pay attention to.
The magnifier is good for well lit studio or still macro work - but I don't think it would work well for general shooting.

Hi!
I am still struglling with my ME Super dilemma. I haven't received it from the repairs, but I am thinking about alternative solution should my poor ME Super go wherever old Pentaxes go once they become less than useable.
Anyone here using a magnifier on their MZ camera? I am not speaking about MZ-S but rather about MZ-5n or MZ-3. Can it make manual focusing simpler?
Do you think that by getting Magnifier F (suitable for MZ series) I would be able to shoot with my ZX-L?
Please share your wisdom and experience with me.
Thanks.
Boris
