You can look visually for the highest contrast or the sharpest line. I never used the focusing aids, always preferring the overall ground glass screen.
There is a focus confirmation in the viewfinder, but it's not the red dot. It's the green hexagon at the bottom of the screen. When the green is steady, focus has been found. The red dot is only for showing the point the camera is focusing on.
The problem with fitting older type screens to AF cameras is that it may upset the accuracy of the AF, particularly the centre point.
I thought that AF is done via a sub reflector behind the mirror that deflects some light onto the AF sensor at the bottom of the mirror-box, in which case a focussing screen change won't make any difference.You can look visually for the highest contrast or the sharpest line.

Thanks Lenny
I did wonder about whether they upgrade the feature set or not. I have LR 5.7 - think I might stick with ACDSee as an all embracing programme (except they haven't catered for Pentax RAW from the later models yet!)

As a slight off topic; does the standalone Lightroom get updated from time to time with features, or is it just with the camera RAW it supports?

And with a new Quantum Processor from research just announced at Sussex Uni to get the images out of it.

Reeds in the mist and stillness in swirls - the bets for me, although all are really good. As Nigel said, not really abstract, but can appreciate where you are coming from with your description!

It works for me! Its really interesting the way the light has been channelled along and immediately either side of the stones

That is just superb, not only is it a great image, but it has a certain humour about it too.
