There is also Katz Eye Optics and Focusing Screen both have a good reputation (but are more costly).
I have a screen for Katz Eye which is excellent and I've just ordered a 'K3 grid' from Focusing Screen to compare.

That's the one James, are they a new lister on ebay in the UK?

I don't recall seeing them before.

As for Digital Village Barrie, I don't but they appear on ebay regularly.

I don't know HG BUT i ordered this screen on the 28th January and still waiting
They have been trading for over 12 months and with a good feed back.

The last time I ordered from china the item took four weeks to arrive, but it was worth the wait.

I might just order one to replace my K200 screen which is scratched.

Well my screen has arrived and is working well with my 28mm lens

It came with two tweezers BUT not the pentax one's I went on to youtube and found how to install it.

It's fitted now BUT i have dust on my Sensor that compressed air will not move any advice welcome

I recommend the Arctic Butterfly it does a good job at displacing / removing dust particles.

I think that you are most likely to have dust on the top surface of the new focus screen which will not be removed by compressed air. Can you see the dust through through the view finder?
