[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 53186, member: 6548"] I like old Sigma stuff...set the D5000 on M and flip through the menus until you find the electronic rangefinder and turn it on...then look through the viewfinder and try and focus on something...in the viewfinder on the lower left you'll see a little green dot light up...this tells you the object you are looking at is in focus. You can also use the live view and magnify the object in question and turn the focus ring until it looks sharp and then shoot. If you are in manual you will probably have to chimp ( [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimping[/URL] ) your shots until you get good exposure...sometimes it is hard to tell good exposure on the reticulating screen so it is better to shoot the subject at various shutterspeeds then pick the best one... Good luck using the Sigma show us some of your pictures when you make some! [/QUOTE]
