Yes. > Has anyone tried to add the ZX-M split screen to it? It's too big; it would have to be cut down to size first. And I have no idea if it's the same thickness. I'd be happy to try it if anyone can show me how to cut it down to size. I have a ZX-M split-image focusing screen in my ZX-L and I'm happy with it, including spot metering. Since I use my *ist D a lot more now than my ZX-L, but still have some manual-focus lenses, I've gotten a little better at focusing with just a matte screen -- I look for the smallest detail I can make out and try to make it as small as possible. But it's slower than using a split-image and I'm never really very confident. Greg
