When you switch from one system to another, it takes time to get used to them. And AF can make you lazy (it did me to a certain extent, but since I used Leicas for over 10 yeras before, it came back to me quickly). So it could take time to get focusing speed up. One more tip I didn't put in the private message: with the M6, pick something on the model that is the same distance as her eye, and focus on that. Then you don't have to recompose tp shoot. Just focus and shoot. I can do what you are describing in about three seconds or less, but with this method, it's as fast as an SLR. You perfect count should go up dramatically. - -- ========= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO They don't let my code go into shipping products," Bill Gates said. "They haven't done that for eight years.
