What camera's VF/ground glass/focusing mechanism (in any format up to 4x5) is generally best for critical manual focus? I know my buddy who shoots 4x5 uses a loupe on the ground glass to focus. Is this "as good as it gets"? Or will a waist level finder with a bright screen on a MF camera do better? Reading the Puts piece on RF accuracy makes me thing this might be a complicated issue with a couple of variables, but I thought I'd ask to get a general idea of the manual focus lay of the land, as it were. Much thanks. Scott
