*ROTFL*!!! auto-f... hehe, great! William, normally I'd say "100% ACK" but the viewfinder of current DSLRs is like a view through a tunnel. Especially when you're changing back and forth with an LX! Ouuuu... I always thought, the English expression "viewfinder" or in short "finder", was way better and more positive than the German expression "Sucher" - which could be translated as "seeker" or "searcher". So, for currend APS-size-sensored DSLRs the term comes quite close...manual focus is not easy at all with them. And still, I can do it better than my sample auto-does... Thomas
