Hi-

My old non-digital 35 mm SLR had a lens that I found to be much

easier to manually focus than the lenses available today for the

DSLRS. It had a circle that was bisected by a horizontal line. As

you manually focused, you watched for the top half of the image to

line up with the bottom half.

Why can't I find a lens like this for a Nikon D50 or Canon Rebel

XT? Are they not available or am I not looking in the right place?

This type of lens seems so much easier to focus.

Thanks.

I just bought a D50 with the packaged lens (AF-S NIKKOR 18-55 3.5-

5.6G). I'd like to add a zoom and am considering the following

because they are within my limited budget:

1. Nikon AF NIKKOR 70-300 4-5.6G

2. NIkon 55-200mm AF-S DX Lens

3. Sigma 55-200 4-5.6 DC

Can I please get opinions on these? Thanks!
