I chatted with Rachel at Katzeye on this. I had the D7000 with a custom screen and it also included their optic brite treatment. It worked very well with both AF and MF lenses. However, due to difficulties with Nikon providing spares and also different callibration requirements, last time I checked they could not supply for the D600 for example. Tomas Szoboszlai <szoboszlai at gmail.com> to Leica There are after market screens with micro prism and split image focusing aides and with true matte screen focusing surfaces, features that may help you focus manual lenses worth the effort. A company called KatzEye Optics makes such screens for various DSLR cameras, including Nikon and Canon. I have not used them, but they appear to be well regarded. http://www.katzeyeoptics.com/page--Custom-Focusing-Screens--store.html As with most things, inexpensive versions of such screens are also available on the auction site. I have one of those for a Nikon D40, but have not installed it because neither the camera nor the lenses I have for it merit the effort. Tom Sz. Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman
