  • Switching the original Pentacon Six focus screen to a modern fresnel split focus screen is an essential upgrade.

    Has the Pentacon roughly a decade ago. Great camera. It was really fun using it.

    Nice video and shots at Greenwich. Love my P6 to death and may give this a try.

    Finally a good video on the upgrade, thank you!! One question, will this work normally with a prism attached?

    • @gknegatives

      Thanks. I've never tried the prism, but I guess it should be fine. The new glass sits lower than the original so there is clearance.
      As far as the viewfinder through the prism, I assume it's like looking through any viewfinder except now with a split focus screen.

      @@gknegatives I've been considering the upgrade for quite a bit, plus I'm pretty sure my glass focusing screen is also quite dirty. Might be easier to just swap it than clean it

    I am looking for those to put in my old Kiev 60. Are those brighter? I already have a Fresnel in my TTL prism.

      Brightness is not massively improved. More or less the same. I use it for the focus accuracy which IS greatly improved 🙌

    Hello Gareth, thank you for the video and great shots! I've just got the same screen and I noticed it's not flat. Is your screen curved too?

      If you watch the video I talk about this (2.20 ish) - Shiny side UP, contour DOWN 👍

      No, repair is too hard for me! I used a guy in Germany who serviced the camera. Did an amazing job:
