Does anybody know if its possible to fit one of the old style split focusing screens to my Pentax k100d to assist with focusing manual lenses as my old eyes are struggling a bit . I have two, one I use with AF lenses, and another I want to use with manual lenses.

Yes you can link

Just remember that they don't work with very wide angle and very telephoto lenses

It's a Taiwanese site but the screens are made from Nikon or Canon original screens cut to size
