T90 Focusing Screens

Need to find out where I can purchase through mail order a new Split Image focusing screen, and the expected cost?

Mubeen,

You just need to start searching the used camera equipment places.

B&H Photo (www.bhphotovideo.com) shows focusing screens on their flyer

and web page, but not exactly which ones. You will have to call to

find out if they have the one you want.

Before you buy that new screen for your T-90, please let me put in my

$0.02 worth. Quite a few years ago I read in a George Lepp column

that every professional he ever met all had P screens in their

cameras. The P is just an alphabetical designation. The screen is a

clear glass (NO center circle or split viewing) and it has horizontal

and verticle lines engraved on it. That's all!! It is nothing more

than a tic-tac-toe design, but I can't begin to tell you the

wonderful change this screen makes.

Naturally focusing is easier, that's to be expected. What it causes

you to do AUTOMATICALLY, is keep horizons balanced, place centers of

interest at the power points, etc., etc. It is, without a doubt, one

of the very wisest purchases I have ever made. Before you buy, ask

around your camera club--you do belong to at least one camera club I

hope-- to look through the viewfinder of a camera that has such a

screen installed. It will sell itself to you on the spot.

Good luck, and remember to ENJOY your hobby.

Thanks y'all for your input!
