It sounds to me that what you both really want is good manual focus. Thats what I prefer. AF to me it really only good/necessary with action where you just cant keep up manually focussing. For everything else, which is the majority of stuff in my case, I just want really nice, ultra smooth, manual focusing lenses. Lenses Pentax doesnt make anymore unfortunately. e.g. like the older Pentax K/M type lenses. jco

Its Canon workalike ... full time manual focus ... is one of the details that I miss most moving to the Pentax system. With both of them, you let the camera focus as well as it can, then just tweak the focus that little increment to nail what YOU want perfectly. No fussing around with lock and reframe or manipulating the focus point manually ... This is the primary reason I can't wait for the DA35 and DA55 to be released, and why I still consider trading the FA77 for a DA70.
