I can't believe I kissed you!
Question for all of you, I want to start trying out macro photography, however I have been practicing my manual focus and I'm just terrible, I can't seem to get the right focus often handholding. I have an XTi so it may either be the lack of a focusing screen, the fact that the diopter isn't a perfect correction for my glasses, and the small viewfinder.

Do any of you have advice for practicing/getting a better hang of manual focus?

Edit: I was practicing manual because it seems to be recommended for macro shots that you set up the focus manually. The diopter is currently set to maximum in one direction so either I need to use the viewfinder with glasses or get a better diopter?
