Much of my gear has ALWAYS been manual focus and will remain so. Half the time with the stuff I've been using over the past years, Nikon digital, I'm using lenses in Manual focus mode. I bet I'm not the only one. Often when I turn off the AF it comes as a relief and I can work more freely and quickly not haveing to reposition every shot or constantly manipulate where the focusing is going to be. In manual mode it all happens in a flash I'm focused on just what I want to be focused on and framed as well. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: Charlie Chan <topoxforddoc@btinternet.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2008 10:33:18 +0100 > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Tell the TRUTH!!! > > I'm just gonna wait.
