Hey all. Looks like there may be some good news. In trying to
research how to hack up an old split-prism focus screen to fit in my
*ist-DS, I ran across the Katz eye. They sell them for the Canon and
Nikon D70's and from the news they're working on Pentax flavored ones as
well. Seems a bit

On that option, what are your finds? What I would need is not that
much split-prism than better focusing on the ground glass, like with
the newest on

Very little. I must say that I already knew of the german company
that was cutting up official Pentax screens to fit the -DS. I didn't find
any links of DIY versions... primarily because I found the link to the
compay that's doing it. Also, looks like there's another guy who's making

That would be cool. I have found that

Very easy, once you get the hang of it.

The AF points still exist, just no markings. If you have the red
indicator lights turned on they should still light.

No AF points if one switches. I wonder if it's a fair trade off?
Yes, I believe they're referring to the scribed squares on some
models' viewfinders' screens. The blinky lights should still work.
The bigger concern would be how much it messes with metering... in
particular spot metering.

I've never quite understood why people like the split image screens
so much. To me, the rangefinder prisms are always "in the way" and an
annoyance. I find it harder to focus precisely with them, although
quicker to get 'in the ballpark'. Oh well, personal preference I guess.
What I'd like
I was wondering the same thing. I alway want a plain sceen with grid
myself. Reminds me I should look for one for my second MX. If anyone has
one they want to sell for a reasonable price, shoot me an email.

Well, I don't know anything about Canon, I've never removed a Focus
Screen from a Rebel D but I've taken them out of my *ist-D and there's
no provision for electrical contacts. (or light pipes for that matter).
