Tobias -- I'm impressed! Thanks a lot!
I built dt from git and focussing works now from within darktable!

I've another question:

would it be possible to disable the camera's AF temporarily from dt for 
a single shot w/o touching the lens AF switch?

Background:
I use dt for digitizing old slides with a macro lens.
For many cases AF works perfectly but sometimes it fails, especially if 
the slide has low structure. If AF fails, dt switches to light room with 
a message "connection to camera lost". In this case it would be helpful 
if I could temporarily disable AF from dt, focus manually (again from 
dt) and make a shot.

best regards,
