If you are unhappy with the alternatives available from Pentax, go to  
Katz Eye Optics
   http://www.katzeyeoptics.com
and have them make a screen that suits you better. Available patterns  
are

gridlines.html

I have the LL-60 and I don't like all the fussy AF brackets, circles  
and lines overlaid on the grid. Personally, I would rather have the  
simple "crosshair" reticle and 8x10 format crop lines, with no  
focusing aid, like I had made for the DS in a custom screen:

Pentax' own LI-80 would do ok too:

Just something to line up horizontals and verticles with, and prevent  
converging parallels.
