Thanks for reminding me about the EE-S setting in custom functions. The EE-S will darken the view for apertures smaller than F/4.0, the camera might adjust light metering per aperture used, but due to the lack of any electronic coupling of these lenses, the camera have no idea about the current aperture. So the metering might still be a problem.
Had anyone tried the magnified eyepiece? i'm not quite sure it's for far-sighted people or for manual focusing.

I too recommend the S-type screens. They will not have those problems you mentioned because I use a lot of manual lenses without any electronics and things are fine. The only thing is you need to set the Custom Function to tell the camera you're using a S-type screen.
Again, there's no sudden darkening because of f/4... but for all apertures, the S-type screens are darker than the standard one. Their usability is reduced when it comes to lenses that are f/4 and slower, but in no way it makes things unusable.
