#MANUAL FOCUS NIKON F6 MANUAL#
I do wish Nikon would have a focusing screen that would facilitate manual focus on their DSLRs, but I guess that's too much to ask of a $2000 plus DSLR. I use AI and AI-S lenses on a D600 and find the green dot surprisingly accurate for manual focus. It focusses just fine and is fine to use with static subjects but it's frustrating to follow anything around with cause I'm always turning it the wrong way. I've got one old Vivitar lens and find it annoying to use because the focus ring turns backwards from all my Nikkors. If you are on a tripod this is the way to go. You can also use live view and zoom in to focus to put the plane of focus exactly where you want it but this gets tough handheld and with longer lenses as the image jumps all over the place. I've found the confirmation dot to be very accurate and also that it's reliable across all the focus points - much better than focus & recompose that I was used to. It's very enjoyable to shoot MF lenses with and quick too. The 750 is very easy to focus with - once you get close by eye (and it snaps in fairly well considering there's no MF aids) then you fine tune it with the electronic rangefinder focus arrows and confirmation dot. With the 750 I can get pretty close just looking at through the viewfinder, something I couldn't do at all with my old D40 and its tiny viewfinder - I can't trust my eye at all with that one.

The focus confirmation dot should be very accurate for both. Either the D7100 or D610 should be easy to manually focus with with the D610 having an advantage due to it's larger viewfinder. I have a D750, not a D610 but they should be very similar in terms of manual focusing.

(my 2500 post.that's some sort of milestone.as is my jump from Canon to Nikon!) With the early confirmation dandelion-chipped adapters the LED stayed on through a LOT of focus barrel rotation.so much so that I just stopped using them.įinally.would anyone using the Series1 zooms please chime in about their optical performance on the D610. I have the 105AIS and the 105 P.C gauss versions of the 2.5 because the P.C version focuses more gradually and will through experience learn which I prefer.ĭoes the Point of Focus (PoF) pop in and out clearly?.it doesn't with Canons.though I've gotten pretty good results with them.ĭoes the PoF confirmation LED accurately identify the correct PoF? How well does the D610 display the focus of MF lenses? Now I'm going to get the D610, my first Nikon dSLR.and I would like to hear/read of your experiences manually focusing with Nikon primes and if possible the Vivitar Series1 zooms. I've virtually all the MF Nikkor prime focal lengths from 50 to 300, and two Vivitar Series1 MF zooms, the Komine 28-80mm 2.8-3.5 and Kino/Kiron 70-210/3.5 all of which have performed great on Canon sensors and focus reasonably well/accurately on them.even though on Canons I have to stop down to focus at the shooting aperture.

I was originally thinking of getting the d7100, but the d610 is now more likely the next body for my AI/AIs lenses.
