I find MF really enjoying in some cases (macro & still life shots). Therefore I bought Zeiss Planar 50mm 1.4* to use with my D90. The very bright focus screen of D90 makes it very hard and tricky to focus. I thought to order one of those KatzEye but then realized that D3 and D700, (the latter I'm planning to buy in near future) have BrightView Matte focus screens. Can anyone make a comparison between the standart focus screen of FX bodies with the KatzEye products?

Hi Serkan, I'm using the 85/1.4 and in most cases the focus is pretty accurate with subjects within a few metres, even at 1.4. It gets trickier in low light situations and when the subject is far away, in my opinion. A matte focus screen should certainly help you to get much more accurate focus, but I don't have much knowledge about the new Nikon equipment I'm afraid.
