I don't recall offhand whether your model will give a Beep indication when a manual-focus
lens is "in focus", but in any case what really matters is what you see, not
what the camera's automation is telling you. This is very much dependent on your
eyesight, whether or not you wear glasses, how dim the light is and whether you have a
fast lens or a slow one. E.g., focusing a lens at f/5.6 will be much harder than one at
f/1.4 because of the light-transmission differences.
Thanks, Stan. Comment well taken.

Hi Eric,
If you find you do have trouble manually focussing with just the ground
glass screen you can fit a split image focusing screen, these are easy
to fit and can be found on Ebay for the cheaper versions or companies
like Katz Eyes www.*katzeye*optics.com but their site seems to be down
at the moment.
I fitted one to my DL, it makes life much easier.
Drew.
