I was using the most excellent 77mm lens, so I wasn't suffering very much. I picked the thing up, and my God, it's huge and heavy. And by DSLR standards, it's not really a big camera. Incidentally, I've never moved the focus point off centre. I've always focused then framed. But then you might have been joking on that point. One never knows... I'm a place the focus point kind of guy. The X-Pro1 has lots of them, so I'm in pig heaven on the subject. bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

The lens is superb and the handling is gorgeous. bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
