Chip, I'm glad to read how well the EOS 1V/1D/1DmkII/1Ds meet your needs and I certainly understand the need for maximum AF performance and accuracy among pros. I also understand most sports, architectural, and advertising photographers probably see rule of thirds as a waste of space (and I agree). However, I think most other situations -- particularly landscape, nature, and often PJ, benefit from rule of thirds composition. Since you brought up math, my proposed focusing point expansion puts a focusing point 33 percent from the top, bottom, left, and right. That leaves 66 percent of the viewfinder without focusing points. I'm even ok with that because my proposal of having focusing points at those intersections would populate only the center most 34 percent of the sensor/mirror/viewfinder. I think most lenses will perform pretty darned well at the center-most 34 percent to meet all of our needs.
