Had to confront my old enemy - manual focusing - after acquiring a vintage manual 24 f2.8 (non Ai). Tried to take a few test shots, but was all over the place with the "green dot" focus confirmation method on my D3300, as the green dot appears over a broad range of positions of the focusing ring. Close focus on the lens is 30cm, but as the subject appears smaller and further away than normal due to the wideangle perspective, it is difficult (for me) to visually confirm sharpness even for subjects at close quarters. Besides replacing the focus screen, I'd be very interested to know if there are there any other practical hacks to nail manual focus for wide angle lenses. Thanks in advance!
