You're right. I am over-enthusiastic :)

Well, I tried cutting down an LX screen for my *istD last night.
I got it to fit inside the camera.
The split-image focusing aid was slightly off-centre (a little higher
than the centre AF light). It didn't black out when I tried to use it
though.
Got nice and close to my keyboard with an f/1.7 lens ... focused nicely
on the word "Enter" on my Enter key ... took the picture ...
The "Enter is SO not in focus in the image. As a matter of fact you
can't read it. I do have some keys nice and sharp in the picture, but
not the one that was sharpest in the viewfinder.
Put back the original screen, focused on "Enter" and that's what was
sharp in the image. But my replacement-screen experiment was definitely
a failure.
