The D750 standard focusing screen is good enough for me to focus even an 18/3.5 cleanly, and its focus indicator is very accurate too. For absolutely critical focus, the LCD and magnification works very well indeed.This thread is resonating with me as I really miss the feel of the good manual focus lenses from the past... and the clear/bright viewfinders.
I do have a couple questions though.
First, did/do you find it difficult to get good consistent focus with the manuals on the DSLR viewfinders?
Second, did any of you fit a split image screen to your viewfinders to aid in hitting focus?
I have both the Nikkor 50/1.2 AI-S and the 50/1.8G AF-S. The former has lovely bokeh and works a treat. The latter is remarkably good for an inexpensive lens ... Here are four photos made with the 50/1.8G:Thanks Godfrey
Exactly what I wanted to know. Have a Nikon 85 1.4G and looking for a 50. Sounds like the Nikon 50s are just adequate so interested in both the 50 1.2 and Sigma Art. Would only choose one. Had read that manual focus lenses weren't that easy to focus on DSLR's. Wanted some input from real users. Thanks
I purchased Nikkor 3.5/28 in the seventies, sold it about 5 years ago and regretted it ever since, it was a very fine lens. Regards, Vlad.
