what kind of focussing screen do you want?
Pentax has a number of different focussing screens available.
35mm screens will not fit because they are bigger.

I believe he is talking about the *ist 35mm camera (I have one).
According to Pentax, the *ist 35mm does not have screens that can be changed by the user. But, I did pop mine out to clean it a bit, and did not do a very good job. LOL.
I have heard, but cannot confirm, that the interchangeable screens that fit the MZ-S are the same size as the screen in the *ist 35mm. I've been thinking about putting in the gridline screen, but haven't tried it yet.
If you are interested in the *ist 35mm, I will say that the autofocus is very fast and seems to be very accurate. I rarely use manual focus.

I know its possible to change the Focusing Screen on the *ist digitals.
Is it possible to change the one on my 35mm version?
I wear glasses and shoot in difficult situations, having a split-screen is not an option.
