[QUOTE="ibsmo, post: 565817, member: 42032"] Thanks for the information everyone! @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-3903-marcel.html"]Marcel[/URL] I do a lot of manual focusing, so that's where the issue arises. I've never been too keen on the AF since it's not as consistent as I would like it, and have ended up with some out of focus pics even though the AF locked on (probably just the contrast throwing it off), so I just ended up leaning towards manual all the time now to avoid that. @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-34269-danno.html"]Danno[/URL] I'm gonna doing some traveling for possibly several months this year, and losing the eyepiece at some point is my real concern, so not sure if I want to go that route, but thanks for the recommendation. @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-16749-bob-blaylock.html"]Bob Blaylock[/URL][COLOR=#3E3E3E] [/COLOR] I ended up working on the D3000 a little more and was able to remove the focus screen easily. The scratches aren't really a big deal, they just sort of look like eye floaters, and as you say, I can replace the focus screen if need be. @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-16090-aroy.html"]aroy[/URL] Right now I'm mulling over whether or not I want to replace the focus screen on the D3300 or look into maybe moving up to the D7100 (I can get a refurb for $595, and the D7200 is def too pricey), since you mentioned the D5XXX series may likely have that problem.
