For Z-1, get the C-74, or MZ/ZX-M screen. No, it won't interfere the AF, but exposure compsenation might be required.

For MX, get the LX2000 screens (SE-60. SG-60, SC-69) which are brighter than any other LX or MX screens.

No, I havent succumbed and bought an LX yet and know nothing about
screens, so am posting this for a friend who needs some advice.  Thanks

"The Pentax User Magazine site "http://www.pentaxuser.co.uk/index.html";
has for sale under camera accessories "Beattie" replacement focusing
screens for the Z1/Z1P, MX & LX. Does anyone have any experience of
these. I do a lot of available light shooting with Pentax MX & Z1 and
any extra focusing help would be usefull as the Z1 is dim, though the MX
is allready very bright. I mostly use fast lenses for this 1.4-2.8 but
use normal 3.4-4.5 zooms the rest of the time. One thing I'm concerned
about is that If I get one with a focusing aid for the Z1 that it would
interfere with the autofocus ? They also do a clear one. Anyone had any
experience with them ?"
