Magnifier FB on *ist DS

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Yesterday I received the Pentax Magnifier FB that I ordered from B&H. 
It fits the *ist DS perfectly: slides over the eyepiece after removing 
the standard rubber protection, flips up and out of the way for normal 
viewing, then clicks down into place to allow precision manual 
focusing. The ocular is rubber coated and turns for focusing. It's very 
compact and doesn't get in the way when flipped up ... you could leave 
it on the camera nearly all the time and not notice it, although it 
will get in the way if you fit an external flash unit.

It makes doing precision focusing a breeze! Works especially well if 
you are using wide angle lenses or doing macro work. $50 but well worth 
it.
