It does get quite dark as the lens stops down due to the split prisim. My slowest lens is 2.8 and I wouldn't want to go any slower than that. Fujifilm X-T1 | Fujifilm X100S | Fujifilm X100T

If so, then yes. This was the one I ordered: http://www.katzeyeoptics.com …sing-Screen--prod_7D.html ![]() It does make a world of difference in focusing with my Zeiss lens. Received the Katzeye with slit prism and optibrite - Amazing add on tool especially for manual focus. 5DMKII or 5D MK III
