Hello, sealing or not - I've always been quite happy with the Pentax way, because the cost of screens mostly has been about 1/2 to 1/3 compared to Nikon.
Also, I've done a lot of work with the F4, and I would not say it's easier there to change screens, just different! (Or the other way round: It's not more difficult to change screens on the LX if you are used to it...) If you have to do your shooting at construction sites, at welding pipelines etc....you think twice, which screen you will need and you'll do the change at home. I would avoid changing screens in the field, regardless of being it the Pentax or the Nikon-way. So, why should I pay for a new condenser lens each time I only need a different screen? :-) Thomas whickersworld schrieb: > > mishka wrote: > > > > don't know about f4, but f3 is not sealed, afaik. > > there's a good reason why lx has a lens between the screen > anf the > > finder. i suspect it's a lot more difficult > > to make interchangeable screens f3-style, that would also > keep the > > camera sealed. > > Mishka, > > The F4 has better sealing than the F3, > as you would expect, but it still uses > the exact same system for changing > the focusing screens. > > John
