http://www.lightstalkers.org/focus-screens-for-nikon-f100 An entire Lightstalkers thread via RSS/XML. en-us Hi all Do any of you techies know anything about Nikon focussing screens. I have a F100 which is a great camera but I don't really like the focussing screen. It's fine with a 24mm but not with a 50mm or 85mm. Its a flat matted screen with a centre spot that I presume is better suited to autofocus. As I never use auto I would like to use a split level focussing screen like I have on my old FM2. It's much faster for focussing with manual. So does anyone know if there is a split screen for the F100. I was told you could fit a split level screen from a FM3a and file down the small lug but not 100% this works. The split level screen in my FM2 is I believe this one. Type K: Matte/Fresnel field with 3mm split-image rangefinder spot surrounded by 1mm-wide microprism doughnut. Rapid and accurate focusing for subjects with both straight lines and ill-defined contours. Sorry for the long post but I need to sort something out ASAP. Cheers.

So does anybody have a K3 split-image screen from an FM3A for sale? I know it's a long shot but worth a try.

Basically I'm bored and sitting around in front of laptop waiting for some large files to upload and Torchwood to start on TV. So, therefore, you could try "here":http://www.jessops-store.com/Store/s27518/0/Focusing-Screens/Nikon/FM3A-Focusing-Screen-K3/details.aspx?&IsSearch=y&pageindex=1&CatId=331&SortBy=SkuOfferingPriceASC&IsInStockOnly=False&comp=n There's a few others for sale in various other shops too.
