Tim : thanks for the comments. There are some blurry pic. It could be because of i am holding the camera in the middle of the cold night (without gloves). So no tripod
Jackie : thx for the suggestion. The Statue picture is indeed misfocus.
Steve : I am not using tripod. It could be out of focus though. Thx for the input

Aufa,
I bought a cheapy from ebay. It arrived fine and looked the part. Peeling off the protective plastic revealed a delicate and impressive surface. But I find its quite some way out. It looks (by eye) slightly thicker than the normal screen. Also the diagonal split is not that great. Personally I would steer clear of the ebay ones. It was under £18.
I chose it on cost alone. It was slightly better in a GX10 then the GX20.

Hi fellow Dutchman. Welcome to the forum.
I have used all three. IMO the Katz is the best. Very bright and a joy to use. But at a price, specially with some extra options. Like Optibrite treatment and extra grids and/or added focus points.Plus.....UPS will deliver only and not be prosecuted for theft. The thieves should be put behind bars a long time ago. For the plain Katz with no extras they let you pay the amount of almost €30,- Note: This is on the cost of 100 usd for the screen.:twistedit's the deal with the tax office. They cash the VAT.)The only "issue with the Katz is the slight exposure comp. you have to add, when using it in Spot meter mode.It is referred to on their website.
Second in quality is the one from splitscreen.com. The screens comes with a double diagonal split prism which works like a charm. About 28 usd with free shipping. Delivery almost 3 weeks but no VAT to be paid on delivery.
Last in line is the one from jinfinance. Not bad for the money, about 25 usd and fast delivery. No VAT problems afterwards. Quality is good, but not as good as the second one. The jinfinance one uses k1000 screens.
If you intend to use a lot of MF lenses with A setting you are only limited to your wallet. The more you pay, the better it will be. If however you use M42 Takumars I strongly recommend the Katz only. Simply because you can use the Taks in semi AV mode and stop down by using the aperture ring. K or M lenses you are bound to metering wide open and stopping down by green button. So with use of the Taks the brighter Katz will be of more benefit.
HTH,

So, it i buy KatZ eye, I will have to pay additional 30 EUR (on top of the price of splitscreen it self and the postage)? Waw, that is quite some amount.
But, when you use splitscreen from focusingscreen.com, there is no black thing in the upper part when you use f12 or above?

Hi all.
I am sure this question has been ask before by other member, yet i just want to get some more confirmation on three different types of focusing screen (split image) available now (as far as I know Pentax do not produce split image for DSLR)
From googling, I found that there are three possible focusing screen (split image) available (ranked from the price perspective).
1. Chinese split screen (from ebay)
2. Split screen from splitscreen.com
3. Split sreen from KatZ eye.
I am just wondering, from these three, which one is worth to have for K10D (performance/value)? What is the "catch" for each type of split image? Or do you think it is worth to have it anyway?
Thx All
