'cos with ageing eyes like mine, a split image finder would be a VERY
great help when using manual lenses like OM Zuikos. We're talking about
a very small finder and what looks sharp on the screen afterwards often
is not. And standing there chimping to check focus at 100% size is
bloody useless unless you're doing landscapes or macro.
If a split image screen was available at a reasonable cost, I'd fit one
tomorrow. Early high level EOS bodies had them available. Using the
Zuik 18mm on a 10D I've had a significant number of focus failures -
that's why I succumbed and got the Canon 17-40mm.
