Yep, and you can manually touch up focus at any time without having to flip a switch (with the USM lenses, which is the vast majority of them). And the focus ring turns in the same direction. All of which has me wanting a 1v. I understand that with one of Stephen Gandy's adapters, you can mount R lenses on an EOS body and, though it means resorting to stop down metering, you retain auto-exposure in Av and P modes--not bad!
