Am I correct?>>>>> Hi Pitak, I've always changed the split screen for full ground glass in any of the R cameras I've worked with. Including the R8s at the moment. The ground glass is much easier to use with any of the lenses from super wide to 800mm! I suggest you look into changing the screen in your R6.2 as you'll find the camera much better to work and see with. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
