Hmm, I started out with an MX that had the split-screen and was quite happy with that. I have also used microprism on some 35mm SLR's in the past. >So if you care I wouldn't mind hearing of your screen type preference (based on >the three main types, 35mm, 645 and 67) and why this is so? However on the current AF 35mm stuff I prefer the full matte screen (as bright as possible :-) I do have one of the MX's using a grid screen now, for landscape and architecture, The other one still has the split-screen. I tend to use the 67II more now, and that has the grid-screen too. Perfect for landscapes and architecture, and not too distracting ... The LX has a full matte (the new bright variant) and that is OK for the fast lenses that I tend to use on that. For much slower and wide-angle a split-screen might be handy sometimes though ...
