Hi Every once in a while I look at the PUG archives, sometimes out of curiosity, and other times to see if I can get some particular info. This time a bit of both, but what caught my attention was the discussion on the above subject.
I have an *istDS and would like to know if someone has attempted to replace the screen with an older LX or MX split prism screen. I do club work and the financial reality for the club owners, are that they cannot afford proper and bright spots, so I end up taking fotos in near absolute darkness. I find it increasingly difficult to get sharp focus (added to the fact that the performers act like their pants are filled with itching powder. ) I also manual focus. My usual cameras are my trusty rangefinder and occasional use of the LX, but I would like to use my *istDS more. Also there was a company that made screens for the LX, does anyone know whether they still exist, and whether they have made screens for the *istD family? Thanks, you are an interesting group, and I should spend more time exploring the PUG than playing senseless solitaire games while waiting on 2 hour scans. Also your fotos are always interesting and inspiring. One day, I hope to contribute to the same. herb greenslade [EMAIL PROTECTED]
