To get back to the original subject... Yes, I wish the EOS focus points were more widely distributed. I think the 45 point AF is over hyped. Fewer points, more widely distributed, would be more useful. (Of course, 45 points more widely distributed would be even better.) Minolta seems to always be a day late and a dollar short these days, but I really like the focus point layout in the Maxxum (Dynax) 7. Actually, I like a lot of things about the Maxxum 7. If it used the EOS lens mount I would probably have bought one <g>. This brochure has a diagram of the focus point layout. Perhaps not quite at the "rule of thirds" intersections, but pretty darn close: http://www.minoltaeurope.com/pe/pdfs/dynax_7_cat_e.pdf ===== Bob Meyer I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!
