It makes things easier that I usually shoot at wide apertures, f5.6 or wider. In general, I do not find long lenses to be a big problem. The wide angles are another matter. When focusing a 21mm lens manually, the rangefinder reigns supreme. Nathan On 2-aug-2007, at 16:48, Aram Langhans#2 wrote: > Exactly what I wanted to know, Nathan. Thank you very much.
