Agreed. I missed focus back in the MF days, so AF can be excused as it generally gets a higher % correct than I did. DOF at 300mm and f8 at the range of the turkey is how much - an inch or two? I wish I could get old-style screens intalled on modern DSLR's. I do have a Katz-Eyes screen in my K5, but it's split image with a microprism ring, whereas I much prefer all microprsim. Converted my LX to that and found it much better than the stock screen, but then I started with such a screen way back.
