Given that lens adjustment got into the K20D, perhaps Pentax would consider adding a "base meter adjustment" setting? The value is simply that stock screens are too bright and have an "aperture view" of perhaps f2. A more matte replacement screen would allow more precise focusing.
There are some screens, like the KatzEye, that claim not to change the metering. But the matte surface of the KatzEye screen is reputed to be very close to stock while other split-prism focusing screens offer a more matte surface (but apparently affect metering). Or does this feature exist? It would be excellent if the introduction of this feature included the announcement of a split-prism focusing screen from Pentax. Cymen On Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 9:45 AM, P.
