OK, how about AF can reach critical focus, or be closer to critical focus faster than doing it manually, in a much wider range of circumstances. Mind you, there is my oft repeated caveat on whether if focus perfectly on the thing you want it to focus perfectly on. And, yes, I know that a highly trained photographer, with sharp eyes and lots of practice can achieve critical focus in a much wider range of conditions, and a lot faster, than someone whose photographic expertise runs out shortly after figuring out which end of the camera to look through. I'm also willing to bet that most of the people who own Leicas are graduates of the Dunning-Kruger school of expert photography. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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.
