I'd love to have a focus screen with a central microprism spot again.
I was never really a split-image kinda guy, but preferred the
microprisms.
The E-1 is usually pretty good for manual-focusing. I find it a pure
pleasure when manual-focusing my 100/2.8 or 200/4 as the image
shimmers a bit when it is in critical focus. The 24/2.8 doesn't. Nor
does the Tokina zoom.
A 2-series focus-screen in the OM bodies also has an issue with
several lenses. The 24/2.8 is one such example, where you really are
clueless as to the focus when looking just at the ground-glass.
