Prism brightness

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Pentax 67 SLR : One Thread

Why doesn't Pentax make brighter prisms & screens? And would it really be that difficult to design a prism with closer to maybe 95% viewing? I like th fact that I only paid $219 for my prism, but I'd love for it to be brighter and I'd really like to be able to see more of what i'm really putting onto film.

Pentax makes a few accessories to solve that problem,one view finder costs a little more than $100 another $199. The B&H website has good info on them. Mike

Not a 100% sure where I'd seen it, information overload and all that, however I think it was in a recent Popular Photog that there was a comparison of all the different brands of screens.
