IMO, that's the only way to manual focus
way? I kind of like what my camera does. If I am using manual focus, as soon as I move the focus ring, the center of the image in the viewfinder is magnified eight times.
You can't magnify an optical image in the same way though. If your eyes are the least bit off, even if only temporary because some dust blew in them, it's a complete PITA to focus manually without the prism on the focus screen - though my old Minolta actually had this feature on a specific lens, go figure (I have no idea how that was accomplished).
