Hi Aram,

For me it is not difficult to focus a 100mm lens on the E410. 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.
