Which leads to a related question which maybe you can answer. Like I said, when using AF you often "lock-on" the sensor, then recompose the image. With shallow DOF, this slight movement is often enough to change the plane of focus enough to screw things up. Using a rangefinder seems to me to involve the same dance - line up the images in the central area, then recompose. Do you find the act of recomposing throws off your focus? From my limited use of rangefinders it seems like the camera is moved less when recomposing as compared to an slr and would minimize the effect. I'm still debating the purchase of a rangefinder. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
