hi there
it does indeed make the view finder brighter,i prefer
to manually focus anyway rather than rely on auto as i
do quite a bit of macro photography and i always use a
light meter, so i like everything under my control as
opposed to trusting the camera to make its own
judgement
go for a d70 if you can still find one,i did use canon
all the time but since i went nikon i have no regrets
at all.

I have considered getting either a Nikon D200 or D70s
as my first
digital SRL. Of course, the D70s is much more
affordable. The D70s
viewfinder is often critcized as being darker than the
D200. Does
using the new focusing screen make the finder
brighter? Since you
focus manually, does this mean you can use manual
focus lenses with
the D70s (I understand you can't meter with AI
lenses)? I would
appreciate more comments from you on how you use the
D70 ... do you
indeed use manual focus lenses with success? Even
without metering do
you find it practical to use MF lenses?
