Many, like yourself, find it to be the bee's knees!
The worst camera body I ever owned, by far, was a Ricoh back in the film days. A feature was that the shutter wouldn't activate unless the film advance lever was cocked out from the body, thus preventing accidental exposures. It worked great if, like me, you use your right eye to look through the viewfinder. Alas, my wife uses her left eye, and when she tried to use the body, the lever was poised to jab her in the right eye! We got rid of that one fast.
My purpose of using a tripod is so that I don’t have to touch the camera. BBF defeats that purpose.

How so? Or, how do you focus?
Switched several months ago on both my D7200 and D7100. No going back now.

But...upon receiving my D750 several months ago, I decided to set BBF up on my new "Doll Baby".
I decided to give this new (to me) concept a fair shake try for two weeks.
Admittedly, at first it was distracting to me as I was used to the old way of focusing.
But after a week, I knew I was hooked on this "NEW TRICK"!
If you haven't yet tried this, I suggest that you do.
I love this new trick, and will never go back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just had to say that!
Thanks,
Boone.

Have used BBF for the past year. Best way to focus.

Like Linda from Maine and MadMike I too wear glasses and I am a left eye shooter. Wicked bad combo for BBF. I’ve tried several times.
I was always left eye dominant and BBF did not work very well. Forced myself to switch to right eye dominant. Took a few weeks of practice but all is good now. Do not even think about focusing thru my left eye.
If you have to ask, it's not for you ...

What the hell is “ BBF”?
Back Button Focus.
And when you see “GAS” here on the Hog, we’re talking about “Gear Acquisition Syndrome”. Seems most of us are afflicted and there is no known cure.
