[Leica] Katz Eye Focusing Screens

[allen.graves at charter.net (Allen Graves)]

I used one on a D200 (to make MF lenses easier to use) and I loved it. I
followed their instructions for installing it  and it was painless.
The focus confirmation light is OK but a lot slower for me than using I
traded to a D300 and the fellow who biothe microprism. I got the brightness
enhancement coating  and no problems with it at all. And it didn't darken in
low light.

I traded to a D300 and the fellow who bought my d200 didn't want the Katz
Eye screen- didn't use MF lenses or manual focusing... (he didn't even want
to look through it). So I switched back.

I therefore have a like new Katz Eye D200 screen, with OptiBrite treatment
for sale at a very reasonable price. Contact me off list if you are
interested.
