Hi chris,
Sorry if it is not easy to follow.
Basically to summerise what this thread is about;-
I have and use Nikon D1 and D1h camera bodies.
As with all Auto focus bodies, the focusing screens in them have the AF zone markings but do not have any focusing aids like micro prism or split screen, as with the older manual focus bodies.
I have and want to get the best out of my manual focus lenses. I know I can use the electronic green light to signify focus is achieved, but I would prefer using those screen focus aids
In order to aid the use of manual focus lenses, some A/F camera bodies have the option to fit different focusing screens..WITH those focusing aids.
Unfortunately the D1/D1h/D1x officially has a few different screens available, but none have the focus aids I need.
Therefore, I have a modified screen from a Nikon FM in my D1h, but is not ideal fit.
Ideally I would like ones that fit perfectly.
Some aftermarket companies custom make these, at cost.....
However, I would like to find if another camera with interchangeable screens has a screen that has the focus aids ANd fits the D1 series cameras.
That's what this thread is about
chris, thanks for the offer of the F65, that's most generous of you. Unfortunately I think the screen in the camera is one which is a standard AF camera one...ie doesn't have those MF aids I'm after....
thanks again Chris. Your offer is most appreciated, and hasn't gone unnoticed.
Don,
thanks for your continued help and info
