I was checking-out for focus screens and I found this. It seems like a focus screen with split image, just like what was in film camera, like your AE-1 or my K-1000! :P
Does anyone has any information on those? Are the any good? Is this a scam? Because, even though they are expensive, slip image focus was pretty much the best way for manual focus IMO. Thanks!

I've no personal experience with these, but would be worried that a third part focusing screen would affect the metering in a negative way...
