I just installed a split focusing screen bought on the Bay from seller Jiakgong (Click here to see on Ebay).

I'm happy to report that the screen's focus is spot-on (without the need of additional shims) and doesn't seems to cause exposure errors (still to be tested in the real world).

As expected, it is slightly darker than the original screen but I'm already used to it.

That screen fits K100, K100 super, K200 and K2000 (K-M).

No instructions provided but you can find them on the Katzeye site.

I got mine from jinfinance, also a diagonal split prism finder - he says his are re-used from the K1000. Came with the cots (useless for me) and just the plastic tweezers. No worry, as I have plenty of metal ones already.

Installed it in the K100D and verified spot on focus. I'm glad I did this.

I initially installed one in my Samsung GX1S but I had exposure errors. Got another screen from seller "shoot-ing" that resolved the problem.
