Continuing to refer to people who prefer manual focus as dinosaurs neither settles the debate nor advances reasonable discussion. I for one respect the fact that you have decided that you have no need for manual focus equipment, I hope you will accord me the same respect and not apply pejorative labels to me because I choose not to use the "latest technology." I enjoy following an informed debate, even when it gets vituperative, and I hope that this interesting thread can return to a discussion among reasonable women and men.
