ifer, personally, I think it's easier to do manual focus on film. Film SLRs are full-frame cameras, with larger viewfinders and also split-screen focusing. Furthermore, those will probably use actual manual focusing lenses, with damped focusing rings. In other words, all the older gears are meant to be manually focused. On film SLRs, the problem would not be manual focusing, but manual metering - the opposite of DLSRs - since there is no manual feedback on your exposure. Big bummer.

for some reason, you are right.
i hate the DSLR cameras for the view finder and focusing screen.
my fm2 and f801s focusing screens were 1000000% better.

there is no such thing as FF film camera.

easier to focus is down to the focusing screen. though the size contribute to it too but it is basically the 'snap' thing that we need to see

Actually, the difference isn't the coverage (95% or 100%) but the actual size of the viewfinder. E.g. the D700's viewfinder, being a full-frame camera, will trump our cropped sensor viewfinders because it's larger and possibly brighter.

Note that both the D700 and the D40 viewfinders don't offer 100% coverage.

And there's no such thing as a full-frame film because the standard 35mm film is used. Hint, go find out the size of D3 and D700's sensor size wink.gif

hehee
for the current DSLR line up, you guys probably need to change the focusing screen in order to have a good 'snap' when you are using the manual lenses.

katzeyes anyone?

the normal lens (50mm) or slightly longer (70mm) works best for me. tongue.gif

one question for all sifu.

there are some pics tat i took such as light bulbs, below it i found some green colour thing.  those thing looks like the shadow of the bulb.....
may i noe y tat happens?
*
what kinda light bulb?
if it's flouresent, it is because the bulb actually flicker at a very high speed and if you were using fast shutter speed to take photo, it will give off different colour.

i think empire23 explained it once upon a time

the only major different between D40 and D60 is D60 kit lens comes with VR (Vibration Reduction)

for an additional rm 300 for the VR is somewhat worthy in my opinion.
