Perhaps, Frantisek, but I am not sure it would be better (or, that I would like it better). (I am trying to "isolate" myself from the "usual" 2-touch way, which I am used to, in order to answer this - <g>.) However, I tend to like supporting a telephoto lens with my left hand pretty far forward, so I think I would still prefer the focus ring more distal and the zoom ring more proximal, the more typical arrangement. I guess I could get used to either way, though... Fred - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
