While reading threads here on third party focusing screens and trying to figure out whether or not they will include all the needed shims for a proper fit, and whether you guys are satisfied or not with your screens, the good boys and girls at focusingscreens.com put up a new link for K-1 mII screens now for sale. While I have no doubt these are the very same screens already available for the K-1 original, the fact that they did this while I was doing the research seems to me a Jungian synchronicity, so I suppose I should buy one.
I recently picked up some fast A* primes and have the K50/1.2 already and have been aggravated at low hit rate despite having just been told by my eye doctor that my eyesight is pretty good for the middle-aged but not yet quite old fart that I am. So I presume I need a focus assist of some kind.
I'm a bit leary of the S-type screens due to the brightness dropoff phenomenon, since I use some of my lenses with TCs that lower max f-stop past f/4, so I suppose split image finders are better? If you're using a FS screen on your K-1, which did you choose, and how did it work out for you? I'm leaning toward a split-image but also find the examples of the microprism assists quite striking. I'd also be interested in hearing something on the Nikon screens since everyone seems to get the Canons.
