I had Katz Eye Optics customize a screen: - no focusing aids (split image prisms, etc) - standard matte surface - add the horizontal/vertical and 8x10 crop lines The result is a screen with a clean, unobstructed view and excellent manual focusing surface. http://homepage.mac.com/godders/custom-focus-screen-DS.jpg It cost the same as a Katz Eye standard screen with the crop lines added, about $140. It's been in one of my *ist DS bodies since I got it, it's the best focusing screen I've had in a DSLR to date. I think I'll test it in the K10D today to see if it causes any metering errors, and put a standard screen back into the DS since that body is going to Ebay...
