These are macro shots taken with a split screen and
close up lenses.

I cannot honestly say that a split is better then
matte, because I have never tried using only matte on
an Oly system. My other camera, a Canon FTb has a
matte finish with a micro prism circle, which I found
impossible to use in circumstances similar to photos
linked above.
However, you can get very crisp results with a split
and close up lenses.

Honestly say, this is my first time to learn macro
shots are better
with
split screen.
Below are some of my macro shots, they are all taken
with matte screen.

This is the main page of my photo gallery, they are
all focused with
matte
screen. I use only matte or distance estimation.
