When I want to be sure it is perfectly sharp I use the hexagon in combination with a visual check on the ground glass. But when using short lenses at about f/8 focus is very easy (hyperfocal distance). I only concentrate on composition, turn the lens to infinity and then a fraction back, and everything is sharp from infinity to 1.5 meters, works super fast.
