The focusing method you describe in your blog is one I've used for years. I call it "rocking" because I rock the focusing collar back and forth, in and out of focus in both directions, making the rocking arcs smaller each time until I feel I've nailed it. I developed this technique when I switched from focusing screens with focusing aids to plain matte screens with my SLRs back in the 1980s. |
I've never used other focusing screens other then the OEM (original) ones, but that's how I usually focus on my alpha A77 and and now ex-nex-5 And if I'm not mistaken, that's how contrast AF works on cameras _________________ Cameras: Canon 5DIII, Zorki-4, Canon AE-1
