[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 503204, member: 16749"] Yes, I have, and as far as I can tell, no downside. It's still a bit tricky getting the focus right, under narrow depth of field conditions, but it's a massive improvement over the stock screen. As a matter of personal taste, even when working with my stock lens, in autofocus mode, I find it more satisfying to see the subject come into focus as the autofocus does its thing, rather than seeing the whole view in focus all the time. It does seem to me that even with the Bresson screen, it can be much more tricky to get the focus exactly right on my D3200 than I remember it ever being with my F2. And yes, sometimes you get to where the tolerances are very tight. I've worked in conditions where I had less than an inch of depth of field, and it doesn't take much error at all to mess it up. For such shots, I nearly always use a tripod, and have to take a few, tinkering with the focus between shots, to get it right. [/QUOTE]
