Still struggling with focus issues. I need shims that are slightly thicker than the ones Focusingscreens.com gave me, but thinner than the metal one that came with the camera. Does anyone know where one can obtain focus screen shims?
Today I swapped focus shims in my silver camera, which I think helped with the focusing issues I've been having. Also, I figured out that if I modify my practice I can get more hits. So I practiced today with my K200f2.5 wide open all day just to see how well I could do. I'm satisfied with the results.

I set the JPG profile in the camera to BW and shot RAW+JPG today. I've actually been shooting RAW+JPG for a while now and deleting 99% of the jpgs as the RAW files are so much richer, but I wanted to give the shots today a chance. I chose color versions for posting here, but the BW are available on my Flickr.
Here's today's catch.

I broke with protocol today, and took only one camera with two lenses. Then I only used one lens. We went to the weekly free concert in the city center and I got a few shots. I couldn't get back far enough because the crowd was there. The name of this band is Beatify, and they played a mix of pop and rock from the 80s to I assume present day, since some tunes I didn't recognize.

I was feeling pekid yesterday, so my K-1 mIIs got the day off. I was back at it today, however, and I have a couple of in-camera generated jpgs for you. It was almost like shooting with the K-3III Monochrome, or so I can imagine.

I took the cameras to the town square today, but was also relegated to pack mule status and couldn't be very spontaneous with the camera. So, I have what amounts to a pair of safeties today. Sorry.
