[QUOTE="gustafson, post: 502945, member: 40735"] I'm looking at swapping out the focusing screen on my D3300 for a split focusing screen to improve manual focusing. The main reason is I've been acquiring some older manual primes, and my results with manual focusing have been a bit hit or miss, despite the use of the green focus confirmation dot. The problem is particularly acute on wide angles such as the 28mm f/3.5 Nikkor H, where the green dot stays on over a relatively wide focus range. So questions for you all are: [LIST=1] [*]Have you changed the focusing screen on your D3300? If so, how easy is it to remove it and replace it? Pointers to guides on the web would be appreciated. [*]What does the focusing screen look like? Is it identical to the D3200 or D3100? What about D40? [*]Is there a preferred replacement focusing screen among Nikonites for the D3300? [*]What are your experiences (pros / cons) of your split focusing screen? [/LIST] Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
