why do you like the short MF throw? If it's to focus real fast, isnt that partially what AF is for?
I do not like MF lenses with short throw, Pentax only did that on MF lenses where they had to like MACROs were there was a very long extension needed. the shorter the throw, the worse the feel gets in terms of honing in on precision focus. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kostas Kavoussanakis Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2007 3:58 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: FS: Pentax SMC-A 35mm f/2 On Wed, 10 Jan 2007, Digital Image Studio wrote: > series lenses certainly does not limit my ability to manual focus.

And I prefer to MF (some) AF lenses, the FA50/1.7 being my prime example, because they have a short throw. Horses for courses.
