Thanks for the info - I use a Nikon magnifying eyepiece on the K100D; perhaps this means my spare K100D regular eyepiece will work on the Spottie... |
It is a different size. The watershed was with the M series cameras. The original K-series film/bayonet cameras (KM, KX, K2 and K1000) had the same size viewfinder fitting as the earlier Pentax M42 cameras. All the M series cameras (ME, ME Super, MV, MX, MG etc.) onwards up to the current digital models have a slightly larger viewfinder fitting. It isn't huge and I have seen, for example, people butcher older refconverters to fit the later size.
