I once borrowed a new G1 with 45mm lens and found it could not lock focus on some sunlit buildings at infinity. The buildings were not moving at the time. Fortunately, the photographer is spared from many inpromptu bokeh tests because the camera won't fire; this ensures perfectly-focused moment-after-the-decisive-moment photographs. - -- Jeff Segawa Somewhere in Boulder, Colorado
