I installed a K3 split screen and micro prism matte screen into my Nikon Df, to assist focusing my manual Nikkor Ai-S lenses.
Why Nikon didn't make this possible by default or even as an option is beyond me, especially with the user base of the Df in mind.
Anyway I ordered a customised K3 matte screen from focusingscreen.com (not affiliated what so ever).
Their installation instructions can be found on their website but to be honest are 'over explained' it's really just a 2 minute job.
The LCD overlay stays fully functional to show the grid lines, and or focusing points. In my case I disabled the focusing point (which is set in center here) so it's not in the way of the Splitscreen, but does still show the ">o<" in the bottom left corner.
