Product Highlights:

  • • Split focusing screens are the best choice to achieve accurate focusing for manual focus lenses and adapters.
  • • When the image is correctly focused, the center circle becomes full and the line between will be unbroken.
  • • The camera's AF points remain fully visible with focus characteristics that are suited to most lenses.
  • • Not recommended for use with slower lenses as the viewfinder will actually look darker than with the standard screen.
  • • Limited 2-Year Manufacturer Warranty

    • Features a Precision Matte surface, AF points remain fully visible, and focus characteristics suited to most lenses. This focusing screen features the matte field with a split image in the center dividing the subject in half horizontally for more accurate manual focusing. The focusing screen is flat with glossy and matte translucent surfaces, in which bring a split circle in middle as well as surrounding a ring field of micro-prism. When the image is correctly focused, the center circle becomes full and the line between will be unbroken, otherwise, the line will separate the circle into two halves. If you are using a manual focus lens, not satisfied with the accuracy of your AF lens or are using a lens mount adapter; this split screen is your best choice as it gives you a matte focusing surface that is easier to manually focus with. For the best results use an aperture of f/2.8 or faster. An Ideal purchase for users who frequently manually focus with faster lenses.

    Miles ★★★★★

    The micro-prism grid makes manual focus with my vintage lenses incredibly sharp, and it clicked right into place on my D3000 body. I’ve been nailing focus every time since installing it.

    Zoe ★★★★★

    Installing this split prism screen took about ten minutes, and the micro-prism collar around the central split image really pops when I'm focusing my old manual lenses. It’s made my D3000 feel like a proper manual-focus camera again.

    George G. ★★★★★

    Finally, manual focusing on my old Nikkor lenses is actually usable—that micro-prism collar really snaps into focus. Installation took a bit of care but once it's in, the split image is crisp and bright.
