My eye problem is one of the reasons to go with Canon, BTW, when I switched to digital. Canon cameras allow me to focus manually; with other brands I don't even get a (properly) sharp image in the VF. I know that others with the same eye problem have the same experience... <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Similar reason for going to Canon with digital for me. One thing that I enjoy very much is the fresnel focusing screen I bought from Brightscreen for my 1 series cameras. I bought the p222 model and it has a very large centre fresnel. I also had the Canon split and high precision screens, but now just use the Brightscreen. In my wife's 40D we bought and installed the Katz eye split with fresnel screen too for focusing, but put a tenpa eyepiece magnifier on the camera because she prefers the "close-up" feel with the magnifier on; you have to look around the frame with the magnifier on but instead of a tunnel look it is more like sitting in the front row at the cinema.
