But my question is this: given the fact that with an SLR one is actually looking through the lens at (almost always) full aperture, does it not then stand to reason that an SLR would be able to focus any lens, of whatever focal length and whatever maximum aperture, with sufficient accuracy for that particular lens? I'm not being argumentative, just asking what seems like a reasonable question.
