I've got a -DS (pentaprism) that I used for about 9 months with a
variety of manual-focus lenses as-is. It was OK, but definately could be
challenging to get the focus right. Since I've installed a split-prism
focus screen, I haven't had anymore troubles.
I friend of mine has a -DL. When I look through it, I see a
brighter, but smaller viewfinder. It definately seems more difficult to
manually-focus, but then again I haven't tried it with an aftermarket
screen either.
Not sure if that helps, but just to let you know that about 95% of
my shooting is done with MF glass (M42/K/M, and a little A).
