John,
I'm afraid you have to fit the original screen for this, take a spot
reading of some uniformly lit area, then replace it with the split
prism screen and measure the very same point, using the same lens.
Frankly, I expect 0.5-1 stops difference.

I don't see why the compensation shouldn't work, even without a
screen!

Good approach. We're too close to our tools to be scientifically
impartial, anyway. ;o)
