Often times, when in *extremely* low light and the AF will not function accurately, I set focus distance by scale only. Years of practice with the Rollei 35S (scale focus ONLY) and I'm usually close to the mark, at least with up to 40mm FL lens... I keep in practice by using scale focus often. :-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
