Hello ...
I have a 600D
and happen to have a large collection of Vintage prime lens's.
That is to say, lens's from before digital.
All manual focus and NO auto anything, NO electronic connections.
I have obtained mounting adaptors to use these lens's
and for studio work with a tripod and the image quality that can be obtained
Is absolutely fantastic.
The only wish is for Split Screen Focusing or a digital equivalent
rather than using guess work with an LCD screen.
I think I recall once finding the existence of an after market split screen mirror
that can be installed yourself... or get a professional to do it ...
Has anyone here obtained one of those mirrors ?
I've also discovered that if I install ML
there are focusing options that Canon standard features do not offer.
I dont know the name of the feature but it was little red squares that light up
as you focus through the depth of field of a composition .
If anyone knows what I'm trying to describe in ML ... chime in ?
My main question is ... if this is a suitable solution,
Will it work with a non electronic fully manual Vintage Lens
as a way to eliminate guesswork in focusing ?? ... or is the only solution
to obtain a split screen mirror?
