Yep, I think I can still picture a splash of horror on my face when I held 1DMk2 of Frantisek and took a picture of my brother. Instead of one I took how many - at least 5 in a machine gun manner. In fact, I think K10D with its 3 fps seems to be right on target for me - not too fast, not too slow. But I thought L1 was more like an AF Leica-like kinda beast. But Cotty, given the size of a sensor and DOF of 20 mm lens - perhaps you could zone focus manually - you know - preset it to certain distance given the aperture setting and just walk away happily snapping around... > For what it is, it's a superb piece of kit and as it only cost me a > couple of hundred quid at the end of the day, I'll probably hang onto > it.

I suppose that the lens (SMC A 20/2.8) could be attached to your Canon, right? > Meanwhile, I'm searching for my next acquisition ;-) Me too. I am trying to enable myself with A 50/1.2. No luck just yet. Cheers.
