D7000 split screen

[arnulfo_rosas1]

<p>I just bought a brand new split focusing screen to use manual focus lenses with my D7000 yet I do not know how to remove the standard screen from the camera. The instruction manual is not that clear in that respect. Can somebody help?. Thanks in advance!.</p>

<p>I find this very interesting, in 1972 when I got my first F2 Photomic with a split focus screen, I decided to replace it with a screen that fucussed over the entire screen just like digital screens do now. I found the split was harder to see and less accurate.</p>

<p>In 1972, my eyes were 39-years younger. I do not have s split screen for my F100, so I use the electronic range finder. My 68-year old eyes can still see the green light come on.</p>

<p>Nothing like getting older to make one appreciate auto-focus. <grin></p>

<p>+1 to Michael's comment. I have never understood the attraction of split-wedge focusing, microprisms or the like, and I've been a lifelong spectacle wearer. Who wants all that extra distraction right in the middle of the picture area?</p>

<p>For one, I do. I have switched focus screens to split screens in 3 cameras now including my D700. It just works better for me.</p>

<p>How's it working out for you? This is something I also plan on doing very soon.<br>

I still use all my film cameras. I have a D7000 as well and most of the time my photos are not focused correctly if I do it manually. So I have made the decision to switch to a split screen.</p>
