OK, another newbie, to EOS anyway, question here. I'm having trouble
visualizing how aperture affects AF.   We're always focusing with the
lens wide open aren't we?  It's not like we have the DOF preview
pressed while focusing. Then I could understand   Does the AF
mechanism respond *as though* the dialed in aperture were effective?
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
