Questions & Answers

ROBERT M : does this come with installation instructions?ANGELA R : Yes, but the best way is to go on Youtube and watch how it's done. I always go there no matter what I need to do....a gift horse.STEVE F : There are no intallation instruction, I looked up a "how to" video on you tube that explains in great detail on how to change the screen and what to expect, also what to avoid.JOHN S F : I do not have the packing material with me at this moment, but I do recall that there is some sort of literature. Also, there are plenty of articles on the Web with photos and instructions. If I recall correctly, there is also a special pair of tweezers included. DO use these tweezers. You Do Not want to touch the matte screen, as it is very delicate, and can be marred almost by just looking at it. Once again...use the supplied tweezers. They are designed to hold the screen, and hold it at the correct angle for re-install. The screen is held in by a little clip that is just pushed in There is a place in the plastic box the screen ships with to store the one you remove, and you put the new screen in the tweezers, line up the screen to fit the retainer, and then tip it into place to catch it in the clip. Getting the screen out of the camera is quite easy, and the tweezers work well. It's really pretty easy, just don't touch the screens. A good tutorial is at Katz Eye Optics.MICHAEL Z : yes it does come with instructions.CRAIG R : Bob, been some time since I installed my screen so not for certain, however you can find this info by googling how to install. Hope this helps you. pentax rocks!! Craig
Shopper : k-x can use?RONALD S : I checked on two different Pentax forum websites. The official answer was no, but upon further reading, it became apparent that some have installed this screen on the K-X. There was concern about the spacer used in the mounting of the screen for the K-X. If the user decides to install the new screen they should be very careful about this spacer. With out it, sharp focus on the screen would be difficult. I hope this helps. Personally I would take it to a camera store (with a service department) and see if they would do the swap out.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?RONALD S : I've used grid screens in all my cameras for the purpose of getting the horizon level and help with composition (rule of thirds).

OEM Quality

This focusing screen is of the expected OEM quality. It was provided in a protective case along with a handy installation tool. It was easy to install and provided a good, crisp viewfinder image.

Would recommend. Installation kit makes installation of the new screen and removal of the old screen easy.

bright and organized

I bought the ML 60 to replace a damaged OEM m60. The ML 60 is nearly the same as the OEM for my Pentax K7 but has more lines to help composing in the viewfinder. A new screen replacing an older damaged one is always going to be a better performer but the ML60 surprised me when I needed to line up or level a picture. Very bright and easy to use. Installation needs to be done by the experienced or with advice.

Fit my K-S2 and was an easy replacement

I got some online assistance from Adorama and was told that this screen would replace my self-damaged K-S2 focusing screen. It sure did and it was easy with with the tool that was provided. Thanks for the help.

Perfect replacement

Everything seems brighter and is definitely easier to manual focus with this plain matte screen. It like seeing the finished product without all the guide lines in the way. All the tools needed to replace it come in the box which provides a safe place to store the backup screen

Focusing Screen

I had a smudge on the screen, ordered a new one from Adorama and had it installed in under a minute. That puts the OCD in me to rest!

Helps with holding camera straight

I much prefer the divided/lined focus screen to the standard screen. It makes it much easier to keep the camera level in a lot situations.

Great for anybody

Having this focusing screen is a nice addition to your camera equipment. Because of the grid, it will help you line up horizon lines to make a level image. If you practice the "Rule of Thirds", you will see a better guide of the best placement of subject placement than the "Bulls Eye" approach that you get with a spot in the center device that is on most focusing screens that come with camera's.

Cheap easy fix!

This view screen is a nice addition for anyone who wants a little more than what the stock screen provides. Easy to install and is a vast improvement when trying to take architecture shots.

The AF Divided Matte screen combines the focus area brackets with a grid to assure proper composition.
