You guys must be better than I at using plain matte screens. The
best thing I've ever done with my -DS was *add* a split-prism focus
screen. Probably about 1/10th as many missed focus shots since I've done
that.
I agree that micproprism aids suck with lenses slower than 2.8 or
so. With a fast 50 or similar, they're beautiful IMO. To each their
own... that's why they're *replaceable*.
