so I bought the split-prism screen out of an old dead Minolta for $5.


Do you remember which Minolta model was the donor? This may be useful for those thousands following you :)

One thing to note... on these smaller sizes, the split prism is a larger *fraction* of the viewfinder. Doesn't bother me, but it does take up 1/4-1/3 of the vertical distance.


for this reason a screen like the one in P30t seems to be perfect - with small, diagonal split image and narrow raster ring around it, something like this: http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~rwesson/esif/om-sif/findergroup/images/screen1-14.jpg Anyone remember if/which other Pentaxes (or other brands) have this small split/raster?

cheers

Sears KSX Super, and probably other Sears SLRs of the same vintage; I think those sell *real* cheap.
