Go Adidas style: JUST DO IT! If you manage to freeze the camera just before you press the button, the shot is yours, and spontaneity is an asset! Lots of compositional faults are forgiven when you've got the moment (HCB-like - but then he managed to compose the shot, too - hmmmm . . .). Set your lens to the hyperfocal distance, and DOF will do the rest. I don't regard critical focusing to be THAT important in street photography. Yours Martin If one is hunting around and taking typical 'street shots', i.e., on the fly, if would seem that not having the frame lines up is a big problem. What frame line does come up by the way? I can see playing with the frame line lever in a static situation put not while I am trying to shoot quickly and focus at the same time. What has been your experience in such situations? In any case thanks very much for your comments.
