[QUOTE="Rexer John, post: 128924, member: 12691"] When I had my old film camera, it was almost always used in MF, using the D5100 it's almost always in AF. Reason is, my old camera had a split centre in the viewfinder to get lines straight. I'd have my old film camera back, over the D5100 if the film plate could be changed to an electronic sensor. To use MF I can use my own best approximation, or use the green dot in the viewfinder for focus confirmation. This seems to be a step back on what was a great system, especially in good light. I've read that you can use old lenses on the D5100 but they would need to be used in MF only. Would the green dot still show as focus confirmation? I guess so but would like to know for sure. Do the more expensive DSLR's have the split shift screen for MF? [/QUOTE]
