I'm like you Shel (at least in this one way <LOL>): Don't own an auto-focus camera, and never have. Other than aperture priority on my LX and old Yashica Electro 35, I don't have or use cameras with any auto-exposure functions. I've shot well under 100 frames on any digital cam, and most of those were grabbing little Optio S4's at GFM and shooting quite randomly (that's what they get for putting their cameras down!). cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
