George, great photo! Perhaps it's just me but see a strong resemblance to the location used for the cover art of The Beatles, Abbey Road.

Thanks Serge. Only Beatles we have in Raleigh NC are the six legged kind . I didn't make that connection but after looking at the cover, it does have the same cross walk markings.
I do like shooting in the Raleigh downtown area. That picture was from a 2nd story pedestrian bridge connecting the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.
Just popping in with a quick question here if that's ok.
How is the accuracy of the stock focusing screen on a D750? Been googling but find it hard to get a solid answer to this one. On my Canon gear I changed focusing screen to their high accuracy one which made it far easier to focus fast glass manually at the cost of smaller aperture lenses being fairly dark (I would say at f/4 it was fine, at f/5.6 it became annoying), but I don't know how the Nikon ones compare.

I walked the length of Abbey Road last week whilst checking out new accomodation possibilities for my daughter.
Clever girl completed her law degree, got 1st class honours, and is already in employment in central London for the law firm she really wanted to be part of. Now she will have to study part time for her LPC qualification as well as doing a 9-7 job. That's going to be tough. Graduation is next week.
So, our last child nearly off the pay-roll. Therefore a new camera is now a distinct possibility.

Congratulations to your daughter and to her proud parents! .
No, they just hogged the plane the whole time, up until the show opened to the general public.

Laura looks like your photoshoot in the Dakota got photo-bombed! The DC-3 exterior is always photogenic, looks like they have done up the interior too..

Mathieu, I try not to peer through the glass on this lens - the scratches are that bad. Somehow the scratches don't affect the image quality though. The focal ring is a bit wobbly too, and of course the exterior looks like its had a rough life.

I don't have extensive use with the D750, did use one for a day from a friend as we swapped cameras (my Df at the time). I did not see a big difference over the Df factory screen and I relied on the focus confirmation light.
I have been using manual focus lenses on digital bodies since I had a D700 and in both the D700 and Df, I changed the factory focusing screen and it made a huge difference. On the D700 I used a now out of business Katzeye screen and on the Df I used a modified Nikon K3 split prism screen from focusingscreen.com.
While the focus indicator in the viewfinder is a perfectly valid solution, I personally do not like to use it. I would rather focus just by looking at the focus screen.
The D850 is the only Nikon DSLR where I have been satisfied with the factory screen when using manual focus glass.
Also, as you indicated above, it can still be challenging when using slow lenses with aperture smaller than f/4.
