Walt, I may be mistaken, but wasn't the technology Canon used to create their AF system pirated from Baush & Laumb? It seems I remember reading somewhere this technology was created for use on the telescopes (microscopes?) and Canon took the technology and applied it to their camera lenses. This was 7-8 years ago when I heard this so I could be quite wrong. Best regards, Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto preview my book: http://www.volmania.com
