I'm 61 and it's not always easy to focus anymore, especially with very wide angle lenses and in low light situations. That's why I have a split image focusing screen in all of my cameras except for the DCS-460, which uses an N90 for a body, it's AF but I use manual focus lenses on it. >>> it defeats the point if one needs to depend on the camera electronics <<< The "point" is to make focused pictures no matter what method that I have to use. - -- Jim - http://www.hemenway.com Red Dawn wrote: > > Hi > > i think there's no focus confirmation with R glass and Canon digital > bodies.... > > but anyway i always thought manual focusing is trusting one's eyes.....don't > u think it defeats the point if one needs to depend on the camera > electronics to tell us whether it is in focus?
