I wish i had an AF lens last weekend when i did available light at the fund raiser. Focusing the A50 F1.7 ,seemed, to work, until computer inspections. I used my eye to focus, not the beep. All we're badly back focused. Shoulda gone with the beep, and thus my comment the other day about the FA77.:-) Dave > > G -- Equine Photography www.caughtinmotion.com http://brooksinthecountry.blogspot.com/ Ontario Canada -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
