Go get an ME-1 Olympus x1.2 viewfinder... I have it on my 350D and it helps to focus a bit more.

I have one also 
But it seems to me that for portraits, a split screen is less effective than a sanded plain sanded one.
Split screens are great on a "true life" viewfinder as the 5D has, not on the little and dark cave that is fitted on any Canon XX0D ... so I get an ME-1 viewfinder magnifier, and I'm thinking of buying an expensive but better screen from focusingscreen.com ...

Just picked up a Tokina 24mm f2.8 at the bootsale and it doesn't have "RMC" but looks like in red "TL" instead...results on film are very good although I haven't tried it wide open or for close ups.
A bit over sharpend by the supermarket scan, OOD Superia 200

TL just means slightly earlier version.
24mm lenses aren't for wide open or close ups and pretty hard to assess anything properly from supermarket scans but the Tokina 24mm is a good lens, I've had three of them.

Good result. I have the Hoya HMC 2.8/24 made by Tokina which I think is the same lens as the Tokina RMC version.

Yes, it is Ed, I'd have both Hoya HMC and Tokina RMC. In fact, all of the Hoyas apart from two or three of the zooms are Tokinas.
