Beattie Intenscreens are still around as http://www.display-optics.com/products_35mm-format_pentax.htm
but I think they only have old new stock on hand. LX and PZ-1.
If we all scream at them they may put out a model for the K10/20/xx
model cameras. Eh?

I have a very good matte screen for my Nikon F2 that makes the
screens
going into modern cameras look like a wet shower curtain. My major
problem with focusing now is that the viewfinders are so bloody
small.
Dim as a burnt out light bulb zoom lenses don't make it any easier
either.
I was expecting the f8 mirrors to make manual focus -- and since
they're
not AF lenses that's the only kind of focus there is -- really hard.
I've been pleasantly surprised that it's not, at any light level above
twilight. So I suspect that while small viewfinders don't help the
absolute size of the objective might have more to do with it than the
f-stop.
I'll take a good quality full matte screen to, but if I can't have
that, then a split image is my next best option.
Well, here's hoping there are some good, Pentax-produced (and thus
certified to not mess with the auto-focus) options available for the
new
thing.
