"Zoom View Finder 1.08-1.60x": Using for the Pentax K-m

Finally, I attached the "Zoom View Finder" magnifier to the Pentax K-m (I bought the magnifier for this camera).

The main disadvantage is that you have to adjust the diopter after changing the zoom factor. So you cannot use the magnifier with a camera that does not have a diopter adjustment.

With the magnifier, I cannot see the Pentax K-m viewfinder at a glance. I have to move my eye to see the whole frame and viewfinder information.

The good thing is that the magnifier really helps with manual focusing, even with the Pentax K-m's rather poor viewfinder. Of course, it is not at the level of a good film camera or a modern mirrorless camera.
