I have for some time now been quite displeased with the limited/non-existing range of focusing-screens for Nikon's pro-DSLR's,
and I like to think that I'm not alone with this issue...
I work a lot with the PC-E lenses, often in poor light conditions, and when I do,
I miss my F3HP with its unsurpassable microprism H-screen more than anything.

I am positive that there is a reasonable demand out there for Nikon to start making alternative focusing screens again.

If someone agrees - could we maybe start some kind of sign-up campaign to convince Nikon of our need?

Let me be +2 on your list. I'll settle for a split-image, with or without (preferrably without) a surrounding microprism! I have it on my F3 but the D200 and D700 offer nothing comparable. I use mostly manual optics, and looking for a little light to light is a real distraction and pain in the ass! And no, I do not want autofocus lenses.

Anyone else notice these odd, unfinished posts that seem to be cropping up in various threads? Strange.

Yes,

Possibly people signing up so they can try and harvest email addresses from other subscribers, or something like that ...

Have you tried a Katz-Eye screen?  I have one on my D700; split image, no microprism.  I am very pleased.

Never had any experience with Nikon focusing screens (besides the stock ones), but the ones on Canon side were indeed highly useful for MF. Made someone decent at manually focusing suddenly increase keeper rates to over 90% accuracy Grin
