wrote: The focusing screen in that D70 was just a matte/Fresnel. There was no split in the middle where you can focus by lining up two lines together. And it's hard to tell in the small viewfinder if the picture is in focus. The other thing I noticed is that the viewfinder screen is smaller. I'm older now, and it seems I need my glasses to focus through there. And, in the catalog, there is no diopter (?) correction for the D70. They have some for other Nikons, but not the D70. I have a D1 (for fun and experiments, my 'real' photos are still on film). In my experience, the ground glass in the D1 is quite suitable for manual focus (I only have manual focus Nikkors). The screen in the D1 can be replaced, but I don't think that Nikon makes a screen with focussing aids. The resolution of the D1 is a bit low, but the D1X may be a option. Second hand prices aren't all that high. And you get good compatibility with your manual focus Nikkors. -- That was it. Done.

It was allowed to keep its horse, since horses were so cheap to make. -- Douglas Adams in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency |
