Here's a question for the peanut gallery: How long before someone makes a lens that *doesn't* have a focusing ring? For casual shooters who never take the camera off auto focus.

That is actually an excellent idea. Among other things, it would mean that the first manufacturer to make it happen will tell the world that they are absolutely 200% sure of their auto focusing system. I can only imagine what kind of hmmm waves it would generate on photo forums...
