The E-3 only has one focusing screen option from Olympus, the grid "screen"
is actually just an overlay. True focusing screen alternatives are bleak.
Other than the Katz eye I have seen no other third party options. Even Katz
Eye will not tell you how to change it out due apparently to a complex
procedure. The lack of user changeable focus screens is something I miss
from my E-1. I have a custom scribed headshot grid that I use to ensure that
directory page pictures are easy to batch process.

One of the problems with MF on DSLRs, at least small sensor ones, is that
the finder screens are optimized for brightness over the ability to show
focus accurately. Oly does offer an alternate screen for the E-3, but it is
supposedly not user changeable and has no split image focusing aid. I
suppose after market folks will expand on that.
