Re: [APML] Pentax Focus Screen (SD-11); anyone used this?

The SD-11 screen will probably make framing and composition easier, but
I suspect that focusing will be a nightmare as the eye will be willing
to focus either side the screen. Unless you have reference marks on the
screen to cause the eye to focus on the screen while you are examining
stars. A knife edge focuser (buy a dead K, ME, or MX body) will make
focusing easier.
My 2 cents Canadian.
