I did private importation after a long time. A thing that I imported is a focusing screen for E-1.
Although the genuine focusing screens are also provided, since the split was not in them, I was looking for the focusing screen of the third party.

Is a famous company that makes original focusing screen KatzEye Optics?
Their focusing screen seems good but the price is high. It is high although it is the trend of the times of a strong yen.

Then, I purchased from the site name of forcusingscreen.com. The site name means things that the shop deals.
It seems that a company is located in Taiwan. The shop fabricates the focusing screen of the other company for every camera and sell them.

http://www.focusingscreen.com/

Although what processed the focusing screen of Minolta is sold at the Yahoo auction even in Japan, forcusingscreen.com deals cheaper one and their knowledge about a camera also seems to be higher.


Although I was checking that it camr into Japan by the end of yesterday, I thought whether to be delayed in a customhouse. However, the delivery was coming at the time of the absence on this evening. Since I cannot keep waiting, I have been to take to a post office instantly.

Package From Taipei

When it opened, even a set of tools and the film of focal adjustment were contained.

Screen Replacing Set

It is FSX for E-1 which I chose, and it has a split & micro prism. In a film-based camera, it was the typical focusing screen.

Since the screen of E-1 was small and it was hard to hold the level, then I chose Rule of Thirds, three division into equal parts grid.
The total cost was about 5000 yen. Since the price will exceed $70 if the focusing screen of Nikon or Canon was diverted, it is slightly high to try.

Focusing Screen

Since the rubber fingertips were also contained, I thought that the work becomes fairly serious work, since E-1 that supports user-replacing a focusing screen, it has finished easily to replace. I did not use the rubber fingertip.

Attached Screen

I did not use an adjustment film for the focus but it was satisfactory in particular. For the moment, there seems to be no problem about exposure. However, what if the center becomes dark when an iris diaphragm is stoped down, I did not test the exposure.
