Hi again S gang.

Wanted to get some feedback and thoughts on those that are using a microprism focusing screen or have used one in the past. 
 

p.s. if any one has one they are not using would love to take of your hands and test it for my self. 
 

Thanks again

A hens tooth if you find one.  I do have one and it stays in the camera. It is most useful when on a tripod. Otherwise, the small movement at 64MP of handheld will lose critical focus.  So, if you stop down you don't really need it anyways as AF is sufficient.  Alternatively, if you're on a tripod you can use live view -- not a great experience because the display is just ok, but it works.  I guess I have one, and I sometimes find it useful.  But just sometimes.

I never bothered moving mine from my S2-P to my S(007)....

It was not accurate enough for me, so I stuck with AF and focus bracketing.

Appreciate the feed back guys. To talk thought it was going to help nail focus more. Looks like I’ll pass unless can get it cheap to try it out

I have one in my "spares drawer." I like the standard screen more, and it seems just as accurate for me.
