When I returned from our Alaska Cruise there was a special item waiting for me--a"P" focusing screen for my Nikon F4. The standard F4 screen has a microprism center spot which I find difficult to focus. My older F3 and FM both have split image finders which are much easier to focus with glasses. The P screen has a 45-degree split image and etched vertical and horizontal lines. The image really snaps into focus--not just because of the split image--the surrounding area seems brighter than the standard finder, too. Just wish I had had it before out trip. I another week we're off to Cody, Wyoming for six days so I'll get a chance to give it a good test run.
The only microprism focusing spot that has worked well for me is the one in the Zenit camera. It really snaps in and out of focus.
