That's the way it is with all technology; half the trick is knowing when to use it and when not to. At the workshop I went to a couple of months ago, Frans Lanting was raving about his VR (Nikon's version of Image Stabilization) lens. On the other hand, he said he uses manual focus more than autofocus. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
