Paul, I have focus mode set to AF-C, Spot, using back-button only. Usually I find the 24-70 and 70-200 to be very quick and accurate - this time I think the target was too small, too many intervening branches, my screwup as much or more than the camera. But still I can totally relate every time Larry mentions his in-focus mic shots! Do you (or anybody) use the O-ME53 magnifying eyecup? I bought this several camera models go and it has been migrating forward through the successive generations. The rubber eyecup is about to fall apart, I can’t decide if I should be thinking of ordering a replacement because I can’t really see all that much benefit. 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.
