Sheesh, didn't mean to start anything. ;-) I am asking stuff in all innocence, naturally. I also made a teasing reference about my unsurety concerning autofocus in another thread. I do understand, however, that old timers might get tired of questions/issues that have been asked/raised 10 zillion times before. But surely, when it comes to equipment, people can agree the best helps. However, when it comes to technique -- well, I don't see how there can be anything other than opinion. Like you said, different schools of thought, but not fact. And I like hearing other/new (to me) opinions. It's a big wide world with lots of variety in it, including viewpoints. IMHO, that's what makes it interesting. Doe aka Marnie So no flames necessary. BTW - I am bidding on a 50mm lens on ebay, we shall see how it goes. I think I can afford it, because I will probably turn around and dump the Vivitar lens on some other unsuspecting ebayer. :-)
