Originally posted by deejjjaaaa manual focusing - not AF, AF can't be affected... manual focus can be affected because
those screens which are typically sourced from other cameras (something like Minolta X700, Pentax K1000 ???) have different thickness and so there is a need to use a clip to correct for it... so sometimes people forget to use the clip, etc...
I understand perfectly, and agree fully, however, the point is you are going to a split screne to focus a manual focus lens, therefore if it does not get you to the correct focus point, what good is it.
If you have to use the in focus indication provided by the camera, you are no better off than before you changed.
That was the point I was trying to make
