[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 503192, member: 16749"] The focusing screen that comes stock in lower-end Nikon DSLRs is pretty useless as far as manual focusing. I think Nikon assumes that the vast majority of those who have the lower-end models will never use manual-focus lenses on them, and the viewfinder is optimized to give the brightest, clearest possible view regardless of focus. That's fine if you only ever use autofocus, but when you focus manually, you don't want anything to be clear that isn't in focus. If you're going to use manual-focus lenses on a D3300, then you really need to install an aftermarket focus screen. Go to eBay and do a search on these keywords: bresson focus screen D3300 The item you want costs around $21 ± a few cents. [ATTACH=CONFIG]184782._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
