Have you adjusted the viewfinder diopter? That seems like an unusually high number. Also, on your MX, can you focus with the matte area only or would your focusing misses be about the same.
I can say that for me, I much prefer no focusing aids like split rangefinders or microprisms. In my film cameras, I would always get a plain matte instead of the split image. -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, November 12, 2006, 1:01:58 PM, you wrote: PB> Hello, PB> I prefer using manual focus and while I have no trouble focusing PB> manually on my MX, I find it difficult on the *ist DS - up to the point PB> that 30-50% of my manually focused, not stopped down shots land in a PB> recycle bin just for being out of focus.
