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.
The central split prism tends to black out with long telephoto lenses
especially when combined with teleconverters making it totally useless.
I'm able to manually focus quite well on a standard AF screen. Also I
don't like to recompose after focusing as my subjects generally don't
sit still for more than a few seconds. I do miss the grid screen in the
LX... sigh...
