No kidding.

Seeing Ted's 20D + Leica lens photos of swimmers made me all the more 
impressed with his unique ability.

A couple of weeks ago I tried to photograph some of our dogs in the 
backyard with my 5D which has a third party BrightScreen viewfinder 
(brighter than the stock screen) and various Leica R lenses.....and I 
got maybe 5% of my shots in focus.
