Comments about Nikon E Focusing Screen for F100 & D1 Series Cameras - Matte with Grid & 12mm Center Circle:
I have used E screens for the last 20 plus years on various Nikon cameras for general photography. The grid helps align horizons and general framing. I use the grid function on my digital cameras so they don't need the special screen. B&H had the E screen for the F100 available at a great price!
The grid lines on the older F, F2 & F3 screens don't go clear to the edges of the screen, this screen installed in an F100 covers a slightly smaller area than the older screens on the older cameras.
Follow the instructions in the F100 manual and it takes less than 5 min to install.

Comments about Nikon E Focusing Screen for F100 & D1 Series Cameras - Matte with Grid & 12mm Center Circle:
Perfect fit with F100. Grid lines are clear, but not obtrusive. Screen was easy to install. I had never replaced one before, but it only took a minute or so. No instructions included, but the F100 manual clearly explains the process. The screen comes in a nice, stout plastic case with special tweezers to hold the screen by the tab. Only the gridlines are etched on the screen itself; the autofocus brackets and 12mm circle are on the prism. The final view through the finder is as shown in the product image.

Comments about Nikon E Focusing Screen for F100 & D1 Series Cameras - Matte with Grid & 12mm Center Circle:
Don't worry about what the other reviewer said about "not recommending" this screen. This screen was originally developed especially for the F100; the fact that it also fits the D1 is a nice example of Nikon versatility.
The lines are NOT supposed to be "full frame" on the F100 - E-screens never had lines going all the way to the edges, going way back to the earliest Nikons, long before small-sensor DSLRs were even a conception.
So feel free to use this screen in your F100. It's a great shooting tool.

This screen will work in an F100 body, but the grid is not "full frame". The grid covers the area of a DX sensor, and the rest of the screen is clear.
