The rangefinder/microprism screens *are* a distraction, no doubt about that...however they do offer a bit of help focussing wide-angle lenses. The screens in the F-series Nikons are so numerous, specialised and easy to change (remove the prism, pop out/in the screen...compared to those which insert through the lensmount with tweezers) that I always carried an assortment in my bag...until the F5 which has only one screen that shows the active focus/spotmeter area and they've no plans to rectify that. There must be a defector from the Leica school of "have it *our* way" in their design department Regards, Nigel On Thu, 24 Dec 1998 11:16:54 -0600 "Bill Christensen" <kangwei@interaccess.com> writes: ><snip> One of the best >advantages is that the so-called focusing aids - split image and bead >- are >eliminated.
