Advertisement Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Hi Riley, Take a look here Digilux 3 Focussing Screen. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
spylaw4 Posted March 27, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 27, 2007 I would rather send my camera to KatzEye than try that myself! But it would be a good upgrade for non-standard manual focus lenses. Thanks Riley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo_Lorentzen Posted March 27, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 27, 2007 I have the katzOptics screen - it works very well with manual lenses. They said at KatzOptical that it was rather complicated to replace the screen in the Digilux 3 so they do not sell the screen for manual installation. - though seeing the pictures Reily linked it does not seem too complicated for the average person with a steady hand and the right tools.

audidudi Posted March 27, 2007 Share #5 Posted March 27, 2007 heres some info on focussing screens for manual focus lensessplit focus screen from the eBay seller, VirtualVillage FYI, I ordered (and paid for!) one of these back in January and it has yet to arrive here in the U.S. ... worse still, several emails to the seller have failed to achieve a response. I'm beginning to think I've been ripped off ... fortunately, it wasn't for a lot of money. Caveat Emptor! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo_Lorentzen Posted March 27, 2007 Share #7 Posted March 27, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) KatzOptics was very professional, I had my Leica back in about 1 week with a freshly installed screen. Highly recommended I can not say enough good things about the experience.! Bo My Leica scratch page - random thoughts , pictures and such. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
audidudi Posted March 27, 2007 Share #8 Posted March 27, 2007 was it paypalthey will chase it up Yes, it was, and No, they won't ... at least not if you wait longer than 45 days to file a complaint, as I foolishly did. However, the bank that issues the credit card I used allows 60 days from the statement date to contest a charge so I can deal with it through them instead. Did I ever mention how PayPal sucks?

Did I ever mention how PayPal sucks? just a few points Jeffrey, this was with VirtualVillage right ? you should have moved on it earlier i had an issue with a laser printer i bought over the new year period for $70 the guy had a good record, but as soon as the deal went down it became apparent he was up to no good selling stolen laptops, goods not arriving, not answering calls etc i complained to paypal when i got no answers after a 14 day wait i had my money back in less than 10 days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

audidudi Posted March 28, 2007 Share #11 Posted March 28, 2007 you should have moved on it earlier I don't want this to come across the wrong way and all, but I've been awfully busy so far this year (I'll likely hit 900 billable hours by the end of this month ... yikes!) and under those circumstances, it's awfully easy to convince yourself to put off dealing with a ~$40 matter for another hour/day/week. On the positive side, though, while PayPal wouldn't accept my complaint, they did forward a copy of it to the seller and they contacted me this afternoon about making things right. So, with a bit of luck, it will all work out in the end. Lesson learned, I hope... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
