Should have beenI used one on a D200 (to make MF lenses easier to use) and I loved it. I followed their instructions for installing it and it was painless. The focus confirmation light is OK but a lot slower for me than using the microprism. I got the brightness enhancement coating and no problems with it at all. And it didn't darken in low light. I traded to a D300 and the fellow who bought my d200 didn't want the Katz Eye screen- didn't use MF lenses or manual focusing... (he didn't even want to look through it). So I switched back. I therefore have a like new Katz Eye D200 screen, with OptiBrite treatment for sale at a very reasonable price. Contact me off list if you are interested.
