Yeah, point taken. I suppose more discerning clients would balk. I would.
Would you balk at 35mm for candids, or just if the photographer were using something other than an F5?
I didn't realize that larger sensors yielded better AF performance -- is that really true? I know, I'm not in the "typical pro" segment, but I still very rarely see pros using AF. Actually, I saw one of the newspaper guys ragging on a new guy (from the same paper) who was at the game to shoot it as practice for having one hand on the shutter and the other on the monopod -- kept asking him how he was focusing. Was kind of funny, really -- the new guy kept complaining that he had missed this shot and that shot and talked about how lousy the AF was on the camera they had signed out to him (which was the same EOS 1 that all the other guys from the same paper use).
