Spoken like a true dino..... Peter-- In this debate, it seems that a number of correspondents have gone out of their way to allow that auto-focus is a useful tool and that manual focus has its own and equal place in the photographer's arsenal. 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. Buzz Hausner
