- On an F-801, none that I know of. On an F-801s, the manual says that the
- microprism screen for F-801 can be used in F-801s but that spot metering is
- no longer usable. I don't know how badly it messes up spot metering. I wish
- I could get microprism around the center spot rather than in it, and also
- have the grid outside of that. Where oh where are the third parties....
