Some of you will remember I bought this on eekBay 10 or so days
ago:

Here are the focus accuracy results using the microprism center:

This is with a Sigma 50/2.8 macro wide open, focus point was the
highlight in the top birdies eyeball, manual focus.
Seems absolutely spot on to me, though the screen seems a bit
less bright than the original, focusing was very easy, the
microprism effect was quite pronounced.

Autofocus seems to not be affected in any way.

The new screen seems to increase exposure by about 1/2 stop.

All in all, a good $30.00 spent for a focus challenged person
such as myself. ;-)

One Caution: The new screen is a bit thicker so it loads the
springs on the closed retainer frame a bit more.
When you release it, be ready to catch it as it pops out!
