Gridlines

[TexasBob]

Was looking at a D90 at Best Buy the other day. Such an awesome camera. Anyway, is there anything I can buy to have the reference lines in the viewfinder of my D40? Cant really justify a $1000 camera this week , but that was a really neat feature.

I bought a new screen for my Canon 40D that now has grid lines. I posted on it when I changed them out.

Not sure about the D40!

thanks. dont see anything like that for the D40. Would have been perfect though.

Looks like you can buy them, but maybe not from Nikon.

Maybe hop on a Nikon forum and ask. Some focusing screens can change metering and such, or make your viewfinder really dark, etc...

So you know what is involved, this is a video of it...
