It's not an argument - it's just the reason why I posted my original message. You can scrutinize it all you want Paul ..
Focusing a ST on an istDS at open aperture is a PITA, because you then have to manually stop it down to take the meter reading. It's nice and fast to be able to focus at the taking aperture and just push the button to set the shutter speed. I suspect you've misread or misunderstood my comments. But that's OK .... JCO will also find fault.
