IMO, a perfect example of Canon just plain being evil. I never
realized how much I subconsciously used the focus confirmation on my MF
lenses with my -DS until I tried using some on my friend's RebelXT.
Between the bad viewfinder and lack of focus confirmation, it's extremely
difficult to focus MF lenses.
