John. I have noticed that this is what you said. I think everybody else has noticed too. Don't you worry ;-) And BTW. I have a constant aperture zoom. It's a crappy lens, but my experiences with it supports, your observations.

I say its EASIER to focus longer lenses with the same accuracy at same fstop/speed, all else being equal. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cory Papenfuss Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 2:46 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Using a Super Tak w/ istDS- A challange to the list? > So, how does one measure ease of focusing in a lab?

I believe I was careful not to say, "ease," but rather "accuracy." The latter can be objectively measured and quantified and the former will always be run through an individuals' personal preferences. -Cory -- ************************************************************************ * * Cory Papenfuss, Ph.D., PPSEL-IA * * Electrical Engineering * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************************************ * -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
