It doesn't say that AFAICT, but it IS there! I just updated to 1.10, and while all settings were back to default (including last image number!) the focus peaking setting is there and seems to work just fine! It works best with (longer) MF lenses, less so with the 03 fisheye. I did a few tests with the DA 35mm Macro, and when switching on the Q with the adapter and lens attached, it prompts for the focal-length (for SR) and you can either input arbitrary focal-lengths or select from a list of predefined ones. After that (and enabling the MF assis again :-) focusing is now a real joy! With the 4x magnification and focus-peaking, any object with some contrast edges in it really stands out when focus is achieved (gets inverted color lines around it). Will try the A8 200mm on it tomorrow ... >On Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 1:42 PM, Steven Desjardins <[email protected]> wrote: >> Wow.

Now just waiting for the 15-45mm 06 zoom to be actually available ...
