The animals and the first picture of Zelda were all with the 180. The last few were with the 50. I've had a hard time making good use of the Elmarit 28mm lens - I don't know if it is how it focuses, a lack of a split screen, or what, but I find it challenging.
A split screen can be a mixed bag when focusing manually. They're great if you have a short lens, and you have good lighting conditions. When you have low light conditions, and especially with long lenses, the small center portion with the split screen goes dark, so you have to focus with the outer micro prism. If you shoot under these types of conditions a lot, you might be better off with just a micro prism screen.
