With the split screen, I always felt more confident of primary focus. I'd often
pick the edge, twig or branch I especially wanted in sharp focus.
I've used matte and had it work OK, but never quite with the comfort as when

I actually have been happy with my DS. I would like to add shake
reduction as that seems to be useful tool. My lens set is fairly
basic. I tend to use the following: Pentax FA 20-35, Sigma 70-300 APO
and my trusty screw-mount Pentax 85 f1/9. I carry but seldom use my FA

My big issue is that I don't want to have to focus first and then
compose. Having the focus aid stuck in the middle of the screen
requires me to have to point it at the subject (almost never dead
center), focus, now shift and compose. With a nice matte, all I have
to do is compose and focus at th
