Sonny,

>>As far as the camera operator is concerned, it is
"Auto-Focus,"  An assistant handles focus, so the shooter
can watch the framing.  Auto focus couldn't work in
features, for example, when focus shifts back and forth
between two characters, both in frame, when each speaks.

I'm anxious to see your pics!<<

Thanks for the info. That's exactly the way it appeared. I'm always
impressed on the big screen by how cinematographers can jump from focus
point to focus point.  

I'll try and get the slides posted soon. Many suffer from the dreaded 15
Heliar "dark foreground" effect. Not severe, but they're going to be a
challenge to scan. Like I said, it was the first time I'd used my Heliar in
a while. The M6 metering  was fooled.
