I can see that it come's into focus but I can't see enough detail on the tiny LCD to tell if I'm right on. Gear-list!

USA More info | Yeah...I've used bracketing and you can adjust the focus field and it works for some things, just not all. I just don't like how you have to "hope" you get the shot you want......I would rather see with my eyes that I have everything perfectly focused before I snap away. Gear-list!
