I 3rd or 4th it. I've missed the split prism screen since my MX. It would appear that when AF came along, it was arbitrarily decided that a focusing aid for manual focus was no longer important.
I used to, when starting out, take a steak knife with me and jam it in the ground, wherever, at the point I wanted critical focus. I'd then use the split screen to get it razor sharp. No need to ruin a shot because of missed focus. We're all fallible.
