| Yep I have a split screen for my GX-1L and it works great. Just like the film days except the split image and microprism aids are a bit big and dominate the centre. (Remeber with the film SLRs, the viewfinders were much bigger). It allows for quick aquisition and focusing of the subject and drops MF times significantly.
Sometimes though, one of the spilt halves goes totally dark when focusing in dimly lit environments. (Can also happen with Macro, slow telephoto lenses and during teleconvertor usage) Then you much rely on the matte edges to check focus and its a bit of a pain. All that squinting. But all in all a good investment of $40. (The shipping cost from China was not pretty..especially when the seller decides to charge British Pounds...) |
