So, as mentioned before I have a new to me Pentax LX. It has a matte screen with a very faint centre circle. From this mir.com page I reckon it's a SE-25, but from the descriptions it might be a SA-21, SA-23 or SA-26, or even possibly a SD-21 if the description rather than the picture is to be believed. I didn't worry about it, as one of my MXs has a matter screen (presumably a SA-3 from this page... in fact from that it looks more likely the LX screen would also be one of the SA trio), and it's lovely to use. But I'm having real difficulty focusing with the LX. I read somewhere that he MX viewfinder is much brighter than the LX viewfinders, and that this has an impact; I didn't expect this to be such a big deal.
Anyway, the way forward seems to be to buy a more standard split image/microprism screen, presumably a SC-21. But the usual flea site only seems to have very expensive focus screens on BIN, and last time I looked didn't have any. Can anyone (a) advise me and (b) suggest where I might be able to find one? (ffordes doesn't have one, not sure where else to look.)
Thanks!
