Any feedback regarding installation, shimming etc.?
Also usefulness with manual focus lenses, and effect on AF lens use?

I have 2 from jinfinance one for my *istD and one for my K10. These are diagonal split images , the one I got for the K10D is a dual split image, which I like better than the single split image. Is is easier to see an entire wedge / slice out of the middle moved, than the misalignment of the 2 halves (IMO)
I didn’t need to shim, the are some reports from others who have had to with other makes.
The diagonal split image is something I was accustomed to from my Ricoh XR2s
Edit note, *istD K10 and K20 all use the same screens,
Note also that you give up spot metering with these screens, but the K10 metering accuracy actually will improve for manual lenses
