Praise for F100 Focusing Screen

I have quite a few MF lenses, Nikkor and Other. With most of my cameras, I can get manual focus very accurately with the split-prism or microprism, but not with the matte field. The stock F100 matte screen is the only one on which I can get a very high percentage of correctly focused images. Is there some quality about this screen that makes it work so well? I have adjusted the diopters where possible, of course; it just seems that the F100 screen gives me the best results by a good margin.

You've been fortunate. At the time of its introduction there were a number of complaints about the screen for manual focus, and numerous photographers were swapping it out for a 3rd party (I think it was the Katz-eye) split image screen (which it turned out wasn't much better). Compared to the variety of screens for its predecesors (F6, F5, F4, F3), it lacked the versatility, especially for longer focal length lenses. Otherwise it was a great camera IMHO.

For what's it worth: I liked my F801 screen best! Above F3 and F4. Proven by number of manually focused catwalk shoot 'keepers'.

F100 probably similar. .?
