Some would say too conveniently. If carrying the EF 70-200 over the shoulder, I frequently have it so the lens dangles down behind my leg and often find the AF/MF switch has been knocked, along with IS and goodness knows what. I've noticed that paps frequently tape up these switches. Shorter lenses, no problems. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
