[QUOTE="STM, post: 128992, member: 12827"] Focusing screens in digital cameras pretty much universally suck for manual focusing and focus confirmation often does not work when the light levels get low. They are not really designed for critical focusing. As soon as I got my D700 I got an aftermarket focusing screen for it because all of my lenses are older manual focus AIS. Below is a link for a microprism/split image screen for the 5100. I got my D700 screen from them and it is perfect!
