I find that the normal K screen hasn't been my favorite screen, I was wondering if anybody could recomend a good screen for low light. I have a 28mm f/2.8, 28mm f/3.5, 35mm f2, 50mm f/1.8, 50mm f/2, and a 75mm f/2.5. And will likely add a 50mm f/1.2, and a 105mm f/2.5 in the future.
I have read the Mir site quite a bit but would like some advice on the screens people have experience using.
Thanks for any help!

J-screen is a thing you need I think

The J has a microprism center which isn't great in all light situations. I'd say go for a plain matte screen like the D without focusing aids. A C screen is same as the D but with a clear areal focusing patch at the center.

what he said. i've got an old f3p with a matte/grid screen that's been much better low-light than the typical split image screens.
it works well with my 24/2.8 and 50/1.2, in both cases useable past where the split image blacks out. still not keeping me from selling said f3p soonish, but it HAS been nice

I had the same issue with my F3HP, eventually I went for a B screen and I'm quite happy with that.
