I found the F100 very difficult to MF, as if there were mush in the ground glass--I just couldn't find a sharp point where it snapped into focus, but it focused like a dream in AF. The R8 was a dream to MF. Of course, I had to turn the lens, not just push the button. But maybe we're all getting used to the TV remote. The point is, that each camera was designed to operate a certain way. My F3s are easier to focus than the N90s. My girlfriend just bought a new Prelude with the auto/semimanual transmission. It does auto very well, doesn't do stick worth a darn. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
