That
ameliorates the #1 annoyance/frustration of AF cameras
for me, which is 
that
sometimes the camera will decide that it's not
focussed to its 
satisfaction
and will not fire when you want it to. This drives me
crazy. In fact, 
just
the _possibility_ of this happening drives me crazy. 

The contax G2 drove me crazy.  My experience with
Pentax is that this happens with certain lenses,
rather than being a body thing.  In particular, the
F70-210 SMC is guilty of not being able to make up its
mind when to let the shutter  fire.  Maybe it's a
faulty lens?  I don't know, but it stays in the
cubard.  If anybody else has had similar experiences I
would appreciate knowing if or what you ended up doing
with the lens.
