Re: Odd idea about manual focus

[John Forbes]

Whatever lens I'm using, I personally find it easier to focus on the point  
I want to be in focus, keep the shutter button partly depressed, frame the  
shot, then fire.  Never got to grips with multiple focus points, which  
just seem a gimmick.  I suppose if the lens is on a tripod it might make  
sense to use them.

Hi!
Am I right that manual focus and auto focus differ only in the way the  
lens focusing ring is rotated? I think I am right :).

Then, why on Earth, Pentax reduced manual focus confirmation only to the  
  center most AF sensor?

You know, I have some quite fine MF glass, the idea that I have to focus  
  (sometimes for electronics to confirm) and re-compose really sucks.  
With MZ-6 that would be fine, taking into account its AF regions. With  
*istD it seems to be a great waste...

Am I nuts as usual?
