[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 554514, member: 16749"] Also, [USER=42147]@Kristin1981[/USER], seriously consider replacing the stock focus screen with an aftermarket one. The stock focus screen that came with my D3200, which I assume is the same as in your D3300, is useless for manual focusing. Go to eBay and do a search on the following set of keywords… [indent][b]bresson focus screen d3300[/b][/indent] The listings vary, but the item you want is usually priced at or near $20.90. The screen that came in my D3200 is optimized to give the brightest, clearest view. But that means you cannot easily see what is in focus, and what is not. I think Nikon assumes that those who buy their lower-end DSLRs will only ever use autofocus lenses. The $20.90 screen from eBay is more like the screens in the film SLRs of old, when all or most lenses had to be manually focused, and so it is much more optimized to help you focus. [/QUOTE]
