The split image is supposed to be the most accurate form of focussing that
there is - if everything is in adjustment. Even so, fast lenses wide open
have a very shallow depth of field indeed. The focus and recompose trick is
as valuable with an OM as with an auto-focus camera but you may find a 1-13
or 1-14 screen more to your liking.
