But it's simple, clean and works! Honest would I lie to a nice guy like you? ;-) I've found I can stop down to f8.0 and still manual focus without any problem outdoors. Or any aperture from wide open to f8.0. Set the camera for aperture priority and shoot letting the camera select the shutter speed. And so far I've not missed any exposures in this fashion. That's what's so neat about it, because it's difficult to think and shoot and still capture the precise moment. Pick an aperture and shoot away without thought while merely concentrating on your subject. It's the old story, "KISS it baby!" And it works like a dream. :-) ted
