I put one of their screens on my K20D. Easy to fit and worked like a dream. The 'gloves' they supplied for the job were intriguing though - latex thimbles would be a better description!

I managed to find a Katzeye focusing screen on eBay for my K5 - really good quality. They are more expensive that the focusscreens one but they are really good. The KAtzeye site is here link

I fitted a focusscreens.com split screen to a K200D a few years back. It worked very well. The only real downside is that you lose single point metering. It becomes erratic and inaccurate - often a couple of stops out.
