Your still missing my point, What I am/was stating is it's the differences in the lenses depth of field and it does not matter all these other things/factors. For any given situation ( other than specialty finders designed specifically for wide angles or telephotos which I definately stated right in the beginning) , the wider the lens, the harder to focus at the same f-stop due to the increased DOF. jco

Assuming for a moment that JCO is correct in his generalization, one of the things he's failing to consider is the differences between people. Some have better eyesight, some wear glasses, some glasses are better suited to use with a camera, or even certain cameras, some people are color blind, and so on. That being the case, different people may have different experiences when focusing. Then there are different finders and screens, some are brighter than others, some offer up more contrast, some have focusing aids which may either help or hinder focusing in some situations, and one or another may be preferred and give better results for any one person.

Some find long lenses easier to focus, some don't. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
