Common Mergansers swimming/fishing on the river by our house a couple of days ago. I grabbed the K-1 + 70-200/2.8, carefully slipped outside and did a few snappies without spooking them. Then I heard the unmistakable sound of a Belted Kingfisher. Finally spotted it through a gap in the bushes. I got a wonderful in focus shot of the bushes. If you knew what to look for you could see the out of focus Kingfisher further back. Canon at one point had an AF mechanism based on the position/direction of your eyeball as you looked through the viewfinder - a guy who worked for me had one, was quite proud of owning such advanced technology. Which, he admitted, didn’t work very well. But that notion needs to be revisited. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
