Lots more hunting and pecking before it settles in on a focus point. However, once it does pick a place to focus on, it's pretty much bang on. I just figured maybe that slowness was because it was either an older design or because the zoom was designed for digital bodies (I don't know why that should make a difference, but maybe it does). Whatever the case, it's wonderful using it as a manual focus lens, but I wish there was some sort of grip or texture on a larger focus ring... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
