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.

    Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

    Aurora ★★★★★

    The split prism on this screen locks onto focus much faster than my camera's stock viewfinder ever did with vintage glass. I've been using it with an old 50mm manual lens and my K-5, and the micro-prism collar makes nailing focus a breeze even in dim light.

    Kevin X. ★★★★★

    Installed this in my K-r and the micro-prism grid is noticeably sharper than the stock screen, making manual lens focusing much more precise. Took a few practice shots to get used to the split image alignment, but it's already improved my keeper rate with older glass.

    Michael ★★★★★

    The split prism is crisp and bright, making manual focusing with my old lenses much easier. I can actually see when the image snaps into focus now without squinting.
