My problem is with being forced to focus with the centered rangefinder and then recompose in time for the shot. That is illustrated in my alternative this week: http://geocities.com/daniel_ridings/paw2003/2alt1.html I was swinging my way back down and to the left and saw I wasn't going to make it in time. I, at least, need a short split second to stabilize my hands before shooting at slower speeds. That was what happened here.
