Message: <blockquote data-quote="Marcel" data-source="post: 46000" data-attributes="member: 3903">This is what I've read in another forum: "Unfortunately, modern DSLR viewfinder screens are designed solely for image brightness, and not with manual focusing in mind. The "ground glass" surface isn't really rough enough to properly focus on and is a bit too transparent. This lets your eye partly see through the screen to another plane of focus, thus fooling the eye into thinking the image is in focus when it isn't. To put it more simply and bluntly, the viewing (you can't call them focusing) screens fitted in most DSLRs are rubbish. You might want to see if any replacement screens are available from a 3rd party supplier."I know that I personally find it easier to manually focus with the D700 than the D 7000. I got no idea why, but that's what I feel. I haven't tried with the D90.Very nice picture by the way.</blockquote>
