Can't answer directly as to the E-3, John, but I can for the E-1. I tried
an aftermarket screen with split-image focusing aid. I suspect it was cut
down from a MF original - the split-image was somewhat large. It certainly
aided the use of manual focus lenses BUT they significantly affected the TTL
metering, and rendered TTL flash completely unreliable.
I haven't seen any screen specifically for the E-3, and I suspect that the
screen fitting has been changed from the E-1. But if you are interested in
trying the above screen for yourself, you have only to ask!

Wonderful shots all . My favourite by far is the last one, #10.
Speaking of ease of focusing with an E camera is there any possibility of
incorporating a split screen in an E3 ?
Of all the features of the E3 I like the least is the lack of precision for
focusing in manual mode. If only they came with the split screen found in
the OM film cameras!
