An Interesting gallery, Dave. Astonished you can feed wild birds like 
that. Also a lot of flowers so late in the year - almost Autumn. Time I 
started looking for the less obvious!

Re: PESO: Dragonfly

2020-09-16 Thread John 
I use AF-C with back button focus. As soon as it hits focus, I take my thumb off 
the back button & it stays there.


Took me a while to learn, but it works a lot better than manual focus works for 
me off of a tripod.


Even ON the tripod, Auto-Focus works better for me. Gets me close enough that 
focus peaking in live view will work with my tired old worn out eyes.

Larry, as much as I like my K-1, in fact the  single-point AF-S is not good

I know that I should switch to AF-C with repeat on but most of the time I 
impatiently switch to autofocus.
