Ladies and Gentlemen,
I'm wondering which brand of lens is best suited for manual focusing.
I NEED a focus-assist gadget found in the middle of the viewfinder of older lenses. (E.g.: two halves that match when the image is focused). The lenses coming with newer dSLRs don't have these.
1) What lenses still have these "focus-helpers"? 2) What dSLR uses such lenses?
I am switching to dSLR, BUT I like manual focus because a) I'm a dinosaur, b) it forces me to think about selective focus and depth of field and c) it makes me think about composition.
I currently use Canon FD lenses (on a Canon FTb body).
