d2x focus screen question

pineal · Feb 1, 2006

Hi

I have a 50mm 1.8 AI-S lens. I know this can be used on the d2x but does the camera alert you as to when you are in focus?

also are there focusing screens available that have the micro-lenses or split prism in the center for manual focus? (eg Brightscreen)
thanks

Are you sure about this? I thought that the D2X has an electronic rangefinder with a focus indicator light that can be used in manual focus mode (either AF or non-CPU lenses)?

Hi

The answer is yes, it's a round green focus indicator in the viewfinder, works
like a charm and i use it all the time, it even works with the focus selection
points in the viewfinder, try it, you will love it...

Do you mean something like the ones for the D100, 70 and 200

huh, Beep? my D2X doesnt beep with any lens

Kenn Hwang43495 · Feb 1, 2006

Yep, I used that all the time for the MF lenses on my D1. I liked the little left/right front/backfocus indicators as well, although I never got comfortable using them to rotate the barrel - that was always best done by habit.

Still, I'm sad those arrows are gone on the D200!

David L. Moore · Feb 1, 2006

One of the great things about the D2x is the way it handles manual lenses. Once you program the Non-CPU lens into the D2x the correct aperture is displayed on the LCD as you rotate the lens aperture ring. This was a revelation when I first used the camera.

I downloaded the manual before I got my camera so I would have a head start learning the operation of the camera.

I hope this helps,
