G'day Gary,
Great! I'm glad I'm not just imagining things in the
viewfinder or on film.
1) The Split-Image screen that I bought from Canon
Australia was a spare part for the Canon EF-M camera.
2) On the Elan 7E, DOF preview results in AF lock AND
AE lock. Therefore no AF, but the AE lock is a good
backup when CF4=2
3) A good reason not to put a split image screen on
an AF camera is that it will show the deficiencies
of the autofocus (even on a Nikon F5 :-)
