The standard focus screen makes it hard to visualize the exact focal point when you are wider open than f/4 or so. I use an S-type screen in one of my cameras and it helps quite a bit. Hard to get perfect focus at f/2.8 or faster. Live view is generally better, especially zoomed in.
You may want to shim your screen for focus fine adjustment using the screen. Live view is the only true thing - viva electronic viewfinders.
