I suspect you'd need a magnifier and even then it would leave some to be desired. You'd have to use AF for anything but a longish lens.
The way I work with the Sony is that I use its flex-spot focusing feature with manual focus and instant AF: center the spot on precisely what I want it to focus on, press the button, and it's in focus. Then I can tweak the focus with the lens control ... the viewfinder zooms to 2x or 4x magnification so you can see the focus transition more easily. I don't know precisely what the Zigview allows, if anything, on digital magnification. If it does that, then you can focus with it, with a bit of practice.

If so, I might want one. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
