I think he might mean that for longer focal lengths you are generally using smaller maximum apertures and from what i understand and have observed, the split-image thingies tend to black out at anything above f4. Really, a plain matte screen is the best tool for manually focusing in my opinion especially in low-light situations. -- Christian ------------------------------------- http://404notfound.blogspot.com http://birdofthemoment.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
