Re: Anyone here use MF lenses on their DRs?

When using MF PRIME lenses, is it relatively easy to get the subject in focus? My T1i does have the focus light and audible beeping sound when things are allegedly in focus.>

No. If you stick an old MF which does not have any electronic connection to your camera, the camera gives you no beep, nothing. You need to buy an AF confirm adapter which cost between $30 to $50. But these adapter don't work well in low light, and some may have accuracy issue.

Another option is to install Magic Lantern freeware (google it). I think ML is very useful for Macro work.
