We need no steenkin' IR active and passive beams to focus. (Heck, we don't even need batteries!) ;) Here's what we <sarcasm> "true professionals" </sarcasm> carry for SLRs: one chrome (or one nicely worn black paint on brass) minolta SRT102 with 35-70/3.5 MacroMD & one minolta XE7 with 35-85/2.8 Vivitar Series 1. Also carry: 50/1.4MD Rokkor-X (for when we DON'T have the Leicas and it's dark dark) and a 70-300/4-5.6 Sigma for longer tele work. All, of course topped with a Vivitar 285HV (with 4 simple AAs) on a Bachrach bracket and 273 w/slave when needed. (note: I bought all of the above except the Sigma as "previously experienced" gear and paid less for all of it than my M5 body cost me alone, yet the SRT has plugged along for 15 years paycheck after paycheck with only a CLA -out of kindness not need- every few years...That sort of reliability is hard to beat.)
