Jerry,

if you read my subsequent reply to Lea's question you will learn that 
it is, in fact, an autofocus camera. At least when I am behind the

Have you found the Beseler twin lens holder  in your garage yet. 
Seller satisfaction in view?

Do you know Bob Davis Camera shop in La Jolla. Recommended?

Chris
