Manual focus might be OK in a fairly relaxed environment ie no rush and a single model but watching pros at work in studio where there are multiple models and clothing changes I would say AF is pretty much mandatory. If AF is reliable (and the top end Canon and Nikon DSLRs appear to be) it just takes away another unknown and reduces the overall shot to shot time per pose. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- 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.
