When I bought the Zeiss 2/35 for my Pentax K10D, I decided to get a new focusing screen. Because of the totally overpriced Katzeye screens, I finally bought a focusing screen on ebay for 20 Euro, directly from China. It features a micro-prism ring and a split-image. I can hardly see a difference in brightness between the Chinese focusing screen and the genuine one.
It's grain is fine enough to see all details, by far better than the focusing screen on my old Pentax K2.
Focusing is still accurate.
I definitely recommend you to try it out. If you're not satisfied, you won't loose a lot of money anyway.
Btw. I have remarked that the Pentax K10D has no possibility to adjust the focus on the focusing screen. In former times, especially on medium format cameras, it was a tricky thing and you could not exchange the focusing just like that.
