Oops, sorry, Shel - I didn't intend to gloat - I assumed that your first DS experiences would be about the same as mine. <sheepish_grin> I'm curious, though - why won't FedEx deliver until 9/2, or at least let you pick it up? > Nice to hear that the AF is acceptable. Well, so it seems to me. However, you have to remember that I am an af newbie, so maybe I'm just easily impressed - <g>. (My partner has a ZX-5n, which she uses for both mf and af, but I've almost never used it.) By the way, the viewfinder is just beautiful to use with mf lenses, and eye relief is just great for me, considering that I wear glasses, and sometimes I find that eye relief can be a little hard to come by. I had visions before the DS arrived of taking off that eyecup, but I find that it does not get in the way at all (i.e., it does not keep me from getting my eye close enough to see the full viewfinder).
