After much researching ,watching tutorial after tutorial, I have decided that I need a split-prism focusing screen.
Why?.. Because I like shooting old manual focus lenses, (In all honesty I only have one, but I love it.)
I,ve been looking at the katzeye ones, but they are a $105 USD, which is a bit steep for me. My 55mm f/1.8D cost me 90 bucks.
Does anyone have any experience using the cheaper 40 dollar ones like the ones on e-bay from Hong Kong?
My gut feeling is to spend the extra money and get the katzeye, but my wallet says otherwise.
Also what is the difference between the 45 , the 90 and the 180 degree split-prism focusing screens?
Thanks.
