Hello. I bought a Contax RX camera from a japanese seller on ebay. When it arrived I was really excited and mounted a lens as soon as possilble. To my surprise I didn't see a rectangular image in the viewfinder but a circle one (the rest is blacked out). Upon further inspection I noticed that it doesn't have a focusing screen (which was not stated in a description). It was such a bummer...
I don't really want to return the camera because I also had to pay customs and this money will not be returned to me, what's more I really want to have a RX and they are really hard to get in my country... I started to look for focusing screens online and noticed that the focusing screens for RXs are quite pricy, and here's my question - is it possible to use a focusing screen dedicated for a different contax camera (for example RTSIII, the FV type) on the RX? Or are they not compatible at all?
