<< How do the pictures look? What focusing screen are we talking about? >>
Shot one test roll yesterday when bought camera: images are crisp but where
dof is critical not in same plane that I used to focus on w/ split image.
Don't know which screen. But it looks as you describe 1-13
>>The microprism of the 1-13 screen (the ring surrounding the split-image) is
much harder to judge IMO than the split-image. That's my experience, someone
else will have a different experience probably. For me, even the matte is
easier to focus than the microprism. I'm not sure which you mean by "ground
glass."<<
Agreed. I 'confirmed' by panning slightly and placing subject in matte. I
don't think that it is difficult to focus with either method in bright light.
It has been suggested by Acer Victoria (siddim01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) that the
problem might be related to the fact that I wear glasses. (I have never had
the problem with my ole' F3.
Thanks
