What autofocus camera/lense are you using for this, and what FFFFFFF STOP? - ---------- From: Dan Cardish Sent: Sunday, November 05, 2000 11:12 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: RE: [Leica] Re: Greg Bicket's focus thread I often shoot hand held portrait type shots in low light, close to wide open (using either a 50 or a 100), and I focus on one of the eyes. This is where AF never fails me. If I were focusing on an elephant, I think I could do the same, at the appropriate distance. Next time I am at the zoo, I will try it. Dan C.
