Do not misunderestimate (Dubya speaking) that - I spent over an hour trying to explain the concept of DOF control to a co-worker and it was a total fail. But him being very determined to get it right and also being a programmer, he has mastered the art of calculating DOF and hyperfocal distance on the go using nothing but a small printed table and a slide rule. > But they bitched about the histogram display on the Canon not showing R G B, > and the edge on the right not being defined other than by you brights > climbing it.

Hehe... good one! Next time he'll have a K-7, bitch about AF and say how great the glass is!
