Well, one thing I had to accomplish was updating the firmware to V.

than it
did to read the update ReadMe file (well, maybe not, but ~almost~ -
<g>).
lol ... Yeah, they couldn't have made the instructions more complex
to read, could they? ;-)
Although most of my lenses are manual focus ones, I did want to
play around
with the DS with an autofocus lens on it, and so on went the F
70-210/4-5.6
(the smallest of my three af lenses). Although I haven't used the
F 70-210
much before, it does seem to work rather well on the DS (well, at
least to
this digital newbie it does - <g>). In particular, I am rather
surprised
with how fast the autofocusing seems to work, even in fairly dim
light, and
even though f/4 to f/5.6 isn't overly fast. And that stingy F-
series focus
ring becomes a non-problem with autofocus...
Sounds like you're having a good time.
