proper split-prism viewfinder
For me, the above phrase is an oxymoron. Give me a nice matte screen.
Mind if I ask why?
I could not begin to use manual focus successfully with the shipped
matte screen of the K20D. The Katzeye split-prism I can at least begin;
distant birdies benefit greatly from focus-confirm, but most nearby
things I can manage to use manual focus.
I have a very good matte screen for my Nikon F2 that makes the screens going
into modern cameras look like a wet shower curtain. My major problem with
focusing now is that the viewfinders are so bloody small. Dim as a burnt out
light bulb zoom lenses don't make it any easier either.
I'll take a good quality full matte screen to, but if I can't have that,
then a split image is my next best option.
I don't know how the guys using the cheap Canons with their trash
viewfinders manage.
