Hi Bill, I doubt that this is patent related, since the EOS 1V apparently can be programmed with a Personal Function for trap focus if you have the ES-E1 software and a computer. Since my requirements for a camera body are simpler than a 1V, I spent my money on L lenses instead. And I the "Almost" trap focus works quite well on my Elan 7E.
