AF sensors are under the mirror(s) so no type of AF will be affected by the screen. perhaps you meant spot metering which is affected by the split prism blacking out on smaller apertures. if you can meter wide open it shouldn't cause much if any change in metering. if you need to stop down your lens to meter, then the more you stop down the more the split prism darkens and affects metering more and more.

I hope we get an answer on my question above at least before i get my jinfinance screen for my k20d, i decided to wait for the performance of the cam with the split prism installed as a second measure for consistency before asking Pentax to look at what i perceive as focusing inconsistencies.
