    Pentax do screen too why they don't do split focusing screen ?

    Katz Eye focusing screens works good but people reported slight constant underexposure issues.

    Check my website:

    I like mine a lot. It does have AE errors with certain AF lenses. But I don't use AF lenses much. If you find you have the error, you can either shoot manual exposure or dial in compensation as you prefer. Makes focusing much nicer, though.
