Glad you asked this. I have only tried FP on mine a couple of times and gotten mixed results. I assumed it was just me being klutzy with it and not reading the manual. My manual is in almost pristine condition -- barely cracked open. :-)
I tried it initially with my DA* 16-50 (or was it the DA* 55?) and I liked what I saw. Yielded accurate focus. Then I went out into the field with my DA* 50-135 on a pre-shoot scouting mission. I was attempting to manual focus on a tripod, with very shallow DoF, a set of children's swings. I couldn't get a single shot in focus until I turned off the screen and simply used the viewfinder -- Olde Schoole. The PF view was very confusing and gave me random back and front focus. No way could I tell what was supposedly in-focus. Since that attempt I haven't bothered trying again, assuming there must be some PF course one needs to take; maybe some Youtube videos or something.
