pimp my D70…please?

Nikon D70, that is…why?
      My main issue(among others), the one that truly irked me from the beginning, was that I could never seem to focus correctly with my D70. The screen was always dim. I could autofocus, but no matter how I did it, it wouldn’t come out perfect. By perfect, I mean that a person’s eye HAS to be in focus. To me, this is the most important thing in portrait or beauty photography. With my D70, it was a crapshoot - sometimes the front eye, sometimes the back eye, sometimes the ear or the hairline was in focus instead. Why not manually focus? Even with my 20/20 vision, that is nearly impossible with the D70’s dim and fuzzy focusing screen.
      I searched & searched for remedies, and only found a make-shift DIY screen explained here, or a D70 replacement screen here (which I ordered and found out was the exact same thing I already had). I contemplated exchanging my D70 for a film camera with complete manual control. I looked into brighter viewfinders, tested my camera for a backfocus problem here, and I worried that my standard lens(24-70mm kit lens) was too slow.
      Finally, though, I found Katz Eye Optics, a company which focuses (no pun intended ) on custom-manufacturing bright focusing screens for all the major dslr’s. [Haoda is a cheaper alternative] Even though the price is a little steep ($160 for a ‘plus’ split-prism screen with microprism collar, plus optional Optibrite treatment for extra clarity) I finally decided to give it a try, especially since my Nikon VR 18-200mm Christmas-present lens is finally due to arrive shortly.
      Oh how I am eagerly awaiting these items to hookup my Nikon DSLR system…
