Well, the latest report thread really criticizes the Katz Eye screens. The current consensus (at least for those speaking the loudest lately) is that the focus aids are great for focusing, but that the effect on exposure is deleterious (very inconsistent exposures, generally overexposing by unpredictable amounts). However, I have one, and I'm not about to give it up yet - it is ~so~ good for manual focusing (and it seems to cause no autofocus problems) that I'm willing (so far, anyhoo) to put up with less than ideal exposures. I still have to experiment a bit, but I'm hoping that the "unpredictability" of the exposure accuracy can become more predictable with practice (I am hoping that each lens, fast versus slow, say, will have a corresponding exposure compensation factor). We'll see... Fred
