Thanks Jim.

I focused with the viewfinder, and you're right, it is difficult.

B.D. told me that the E3 has a much brighter screen but I didn't want to 
go for one of those until I know more about the future of a digital R 
camera.

I ordered one of these in the expectation that it will help with non 
AF-chip focusing. I'll let you know:
