The D/DS have an excellent viewfinder for manual focus. I can see the critical focus point even with the A24/2.8 or the DA16-45/4 at under 20mm focal length, which is nearly impossible with similar lenses on my Canon 10D (which in turn has a much better viewfinder than a D70 or DRebel). It gets a little dicey at other than close range distances with the DA14, but then it's so easy to focus that one by just setting the distance and riding the DoF. :-) Godfrey __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
