I have shot with Pentax and Nikon in terms of autofocus, and though it may be true that Pentax may be a little slower, I find that I use manual focus with the *ist D as often as when I used the D1X and D1H.
It is a question of taste perhaps, I find myself relying on AF at times and finding out that I should have used mf and gotten the shot I wanted. Most often my sport shots are with the manual focus A* 300/4. Cesar Panama City, Florida -----Original Message----- From: Peter J.
