Unless the camera is faster and better than [you] are. I wouldn't have thought it possible as I've always been a manual focus guy, only acquiring a camera with AF in 2002. That was a D60 and it was crap AF. I did not expect much better in 2004, but how wrong I was. > It is not like spec work where you don't >even have to admit a dud exists.

Better to do it yourself then at least if >you screw up it is you who screwed up. To each their own my friend. The other day I was shooting some colleagues around the sat truck just for fun. On one shot the AF went AWOL. That's the second time it has ever happened to me in nearly 10,000 exposures (of which I would estimate over 75% are AF).The first time it was just too dark. One has to know one's gear on a level where trust is earned, not expected. Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
