[QUOTE="ejronin, post: 625729, member: 43743"] So this is one of those moments in reading forums that someone asks a question generally regarded as asinine on multiple levels but if I'm going to be punched in the face for asking, well... what's a tooth or two, right? Let's pretend for a moment that: [LIST] [*]I really don't want to buy a new camera body right now and that I've already installed a split screen and own a slew of manual lenses (by slew I mean like, 5). [*]No matter how much more another body with a prism "only" costs, the cost is greater than $0 (how I obtained a body with a potentially available prism is the stuff of nightmares - imagine an unattended 5 year old, with a D7200 and a Zeiss Milvus 85mm...and then imagine the lens coming off, at the beach, used as a sand scoop and the camera was the princess in the sand castle. Yeah, it's how funerals happen, I know. Good thing it wasn't an Otus, right? Also, not my kid or my stuff.) [/LIST] The fact I've looked for week across the internet for an example of anyone changing the mirror for a prism in any body with nothing coming up is a huge indicator that either its' not possible or that it's so asinine no one ever dared ask - but I'm not asking if this is a good idea (it's assumed not); I'm asking whether change the pentamirror from a D5300 to a pentaprism is doable?
