yes, i had a fixed af point, in the center, and i tried to keep the kid in the center of the frame all the time. the lens can focus this close and much closer w/o any problems.
i looked at the exif data in the "swing" set of pics, and apparently, in about 60% of them, it shows "distant view" focus seting when the kid is at the closest distance and "close view" whe he's at the farthest point. so it's the matter of af-c latency. unfortunately it doesn't show the exact distance. my guess would be ~1m at the closest and ~4m at the farthest, with swing period about 2s. best, mishka On 3/20/06, Kostas Kavoussanakis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, 19 Mar 2006, Mishka wrote: > > > thanks guys, for confirming what i suspected. > > so much for "better living through electricity". > > I agree with all the previous posters.
