[QUOTE="STM, post: 617337, member: 12827"] Should you ever find you may focus manually, and there are certainly many times when focusing manually is preferable to autofocus (like macro), I suggest look at an aftermarket focusing screen. I have one on my D700 which is ground glass with a microprism center, it is dead on. I ordered a split image center with a microprism collar for my D7100 but it is still in transit. I have found that [URL="http://focusingscreen.com/"]focusingscreen.com[/URL] has excellent screens. [URL="http://www.katzeyeoptics.com/"]Katzeye[/URL] also offers them but I find them overpriced and their selection is not nearly as extensive. The split image/microprism screen I ordered for the D7100 is a Nikon K3 screen. The one on my D700 is a modified Canon Ec screen. If required, the screens will come with a brass shim to be placed between the screen and pentaprism to ensure that the focus is correct. [/QUOTE]
