I found it slightly harder to focus with faster lenses as well as
standard/wides. I used my 1-8 as a general screen with regular use of a
24, 50 and a 85-250 zoom. My focusing was fine with the telezoom however
the WA and std required greater attention. Also found it rather crap for
low light shots.

Dear All,
         I've just purchased a 1-8 astrophoto screen (cheers Ian, its 
beauty!) and I'm thinking of using it all of the time instead of the 
standard split prism one which I find difficult to use. I was just 
wondering though will this impact on focusing performance at all? I 
would assume not but I thought I'd check before I go and take a few 
photos! Thanks in advance.

All the best,
Gareth.
