Just passing by and would like to add my 2¢....
When I recently found a "new" Nikon F, I immediately went to Ebay and got the "B" screen I had used for 30+ years on my F bodies, the one with no center spot focusing aid....no split image, no microprism...
The "B" screen has just a fine flat matte center circle that allowed me to focus more easily anywhere in the frame...30 years with it has given me the visual acuity to focus with dSLR screens...with concentration I can see the shimmering microprism at the center of the Canon screen, but I focus with the Canon (now the 30D, though I used the 40D with the EF-S optional MF screen) where the subject is and not use the focus confirm boxes...I had a couple of 1st generation dandelion chipped adapters and found them to be a nuisance...
True, I use primarily 50 to 300mm MF lenses, so that makes MF easier, but I just got the OLY 24/2.8 and a 28/2.8 and look forward to shooting them for street scenes and seeing what success-rate I have focusing with them...
