Mammals, mostly -- primarily members of my immediate family.  My
original statement was of course an exaggeration (most of my
statements are); but it is true that I rarely find subjects that I
can't focus at least as easily with either the split-image or directly
on the matte (usually the latter).  A couple of nights ago, for
example, I was taking a picture of my son in fairly dim light, and I
paid attention to how I was focusing (which was only possible because
he was asleep).  I could get a good read on the focus using the
split-image finder on the curve of his cheek, and could focus on his
hair using the matte screen but I couldn't find anyplace where the
microprism was useful at all.  That happens often enough that I have 
gotten into the habit of ignoring the microprism.
