Replacement focusing screen, see eby listing 290095437556
and/or
ME-1 Magnifier Eyecup for E-Series
or
VA-1 Angle Finder for E-500

Try using a setup like :-

Which is why I'm also looking at options including the replacement
screen above. I to spend a bit of time checking focus, only to find
when I dump the card that only 1 in 5 or more is ok, and even that
is being nice to my eyes with the E500 focus screen, which I guess
was really only ment for auto-focus use.

These E-Series are a real disease arent they, MF-1 adapters,
home brew T-Mount adapter, need a new angle finder, sigh,
might as well get those to lens as well, sigh, need that macro...
