It is near impossible to see through it in the viewfinder, and I find it under meters by 3 or 4 stops. But with live view it can see through and the metering is fine. Only issue then is the LCD screen isnt' so bright and can be hard to see in bright sunlight where I'm most likely to use such a filter. So I kind of hope the k3 LCD is brighter, or lacking that use the sync app to see live view.
