[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 124932, member: 10447"] I was just doing a bit of reading up on these focusing screens. Another brand called "Katzeye" also gets good reviews. On one forum, someone contacted them to see if they were going to make a screen for the D800, this was reported to be their reply,,,, [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Arial][FONT=inherit][INDENT][FONT=georgia]"Unfortunately, we are not able to support the Nikon D800/D800E at this time. This is certainly a model we would like to support, but after our initial examination, we found that current technical limitations prevent us from making screens for these cameras and it is unknown if we will support them in the future or not. Work is ongoing, but no short term solution is apparent. At this point, we have not yet had the opportunity to study the D600, so I cannot say with certainty if we will support that model. However, given the difficulty we have encountered with the design of Nikon's recent full frame cameras, and the unavailability of Nikon parts for use in R&D (due to their new restriction on parts sales), it is unlikely we will be able to support the D600 model."[/FONT] EDIT--- Apparently there are problems that arise with full frame camera's with 100% viewfinders.
